PD May 28, 2013

Now my status says POST DECISION ACTIVITY

Post Decision Activity

On December 19, 2013, 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.

What does this mean ? :/

That means your I130 petition has been approved by the USCIS and now has been transferred to the NVC to start the consular processing. Congratulations!

Are you sure because it says " a USCIS office received this case from the State Department with a request that we review it".

I am little confused.

Btw thank you so much for the help

So my husband spoke to tier 2 inquiring about our petition. According to his system update our petition was transferred to CSC and still in pending. What's going on ?

It's not yet an approval, it's a notice that ur case has been transferred for review.. Hopefully within 30-60days you'll get a result. Good luck!

[SSB12 9]

Alright! Thank you.

[JbTin 51]

Actually, im not 100% sure lol coz the message is very confusing, sorry.. Post decision means either approved or denied, but then it also states that the case was to be reviewed. I suggest u go with what the tier2 told ur husband.

[SSB12 9]

I think we should wait for the mail. Fingers crossed.

It's means they already reviewed ur case.. They took the decision .. And will let u know by mail in some certain time...

It sounds to me that NVC (is that the State Department?) had it, but now it's gone back to USCIS for further review? :S never seen that status update before.

Edit: After looking on some other sites, and older threads from this site, it seems this is the kind of status updates you get after being denied a visa at interview, and then your case is sent back to USCIS to either re-affirm it or send out a Notice of Intent to Deny/Revoke. Have you attended an interview for the visa and been denied?

No, I haven't. It never came to the Islamabad embassy. On December 17th it said that our case was transferred to a local USCIS office and on December 19th it was at post decision activity. I check a few MCS numbers ahead me, all of them had the same status.

According to tier 2 our case is transferred to CSC and is still in pending. So confused!!

ACK! I think it's a data error.

Why? Usually this exact statement comes in to your status portal thingie only when the following events have transpired:

1. beneficiary has interview at an IV Unit .

2. IV Unit denies the case, sends it back to the USA to the National Visa Center (A Unit of the Department of State)

3. NVC sends the file to USCIS for review.

So - If I were the petitioner, I'd be on the phone with USCIS on Monday Morning, talking with an ISO (not a CSR) as that 'status' is specious, a data error.

Local offices were given a date of 31 OCT 2013 to finish up stand-alone I-130 adjudications. IMO, that casefile movement from the local office was lagged, but finally left the local office. Is quite possible the casefile went out in a batch of other approved casefiles to NVC, but without adjudication (approved, denied, etc), someone at NVC caught the error (n adjudication) and they shipped it around, back to USCIS.

If yer certain that the casefile is at CSC now, I suggest engaging with an Immigration Liason Staffer at a Congressman's office, and ask the ILS human to request an expedite due to USCIS error.

Anyway, that's my two cents, after reading more in yer topic.
