I don't think so though. But it would be great if they worked last Black Friday.

Ok, not sure if I should be scared or excited. I filed an I-130 for my Brazilian wife in August to the Chicago Lockbox. They in-turn sent it to CSC, and on November 6th it was transferred to TSC.. I just received a text from them that it had been updated. When I checked the website.. it had moved from Initial Review to Post Decision Activity. We never received any notification about her doing and interview, biometrics, or anything, and it appears that it completely skipped the "Decision" phase. Is this good, bad, or indifferent? Does anyone have any insight on this?

This is what the website says:

Your Current Case Status for Form I130, IMMIGRANT PETITION FOR RELATIVE, FIANCE(E), OR ORPHAN

Post Decision Activity

On November 29, 2010, a USCIS office received this case from the State Department with a request that we review it. We will notify you when we complete our review, or if we need something from you. If you move while this case is pending, please use our Change of Address online tool to update your case with your new address or call our customer service center at 1-800-375-5283.

For approved applications/petitions, post-decision activity may include USCIS sending notification of the approved application/petition to the National Visa Center or the Department of State. For denied applications/petitions, post-decision activity may include the processing of an appeal and/or motions to reopen or reconsider and revocations.

Thank you for any help or info you can give.

This is what the website says:

Post Decision Activity

On November 29, 2010, a USCIS office received this case from the State Department with a request that we review it. We will notify you when we complete our review...

Erick...On your USCIS Status, the "Post Decision" indicater seems to contradict the words. These are my thoughts:

The recent move to local offices was an "out of the ordinary" process and there may not be appropriate "pre-programmed codes" available for the USCIS to post as a result. Based on the words of the notice, it appears that it was received at your local office and the review will be completed there. My guess (hopefully wrong) is that the "Post Decision Activity" status was posted incorrectly as the words in the posting contridict the status.

I suggest that you call the USCIS and ask what this means.

I hope for you that it is approved and on it's way to the NVC. Whatever the answer, they are making process and your NOA2 is in sight. My best to you both.
