Case Is Being Actively Reviewed By USCIS I-130
Hi everyone, could you please help me with what does it mean? I have applied for my son, and it has been almost one month that I received this message and nothing more: "Case Is Being Actively Reviewed By USCIS we are actively reviewing your Form I-130, Petition for Alien Relative. Our records show nothing is outstanding at this time. We will let you know if we need anything from you." My receipt number starts with IOE............., so with IOE, I am not sure which center my case is. I asked Emma, but I couldn't understand how I could ask the right question? I appreciate it if you guys share with me your experiences.

Olivia FosterApr 5, 2022
Alice. How about your case now? I have read your post. My case is having the same status. It really frustrated. I understand it is very hard during this pandemic period. However, I still having the wish that will hear the case approval soon.
Shehzad fazalApr 6, 2022
My is also actively reviewed from 1 month. Waiting for approval.. It's taking long time which is not good. How someone stay away for his loving for such a long time. 😪 Government should do something for this...

Sumeyya AriApr 6, 2022
I applied for I-130 for my mother on August 6, 2021; got an update on January 26, 2022 that case is actively being reviewed. Been waiting since then. Wonder how long it will take until we get an answer.

Sumeyya AriApr 6, 2022
We are at Texas Service Center
Olivia FosterApr 6, 2022
oh my good. if it tooks that long, I will not check the case everyday. mine is only one month for active.
Alice SmithApr 7, 2022
@my case is still the same! :( @Shehzad fazal, I agree with you, I think it is not fair, Government doesn't do any action about our situation! :( It seems that they don't care about our feeling. We only work here and pay a lot of tax while we cant be with our family. :(

Iris MartinezApr 10, 2022
I submitted my application March 2021. As of May 2021 it’s been actively being reviewed. 1 year after submitting and almost 1 year of being stuck in the same status. :((

Sumeyya AriApr 10, 2022
Why dont you call USCİS and ask to speak to a supervisor; it may help when a case is stuck like that.
B
Braind CarrierApr 16, 2022
I guess It depends on the age of the applicant, the petitioner, and the state you are applying from. I had two cases applied the same day in November 2019 in Texas by their parents. One adult and one minor. The minor is here and the adult case turn to actively being review 2 months ago. Please be more informative about your case with this information because cases are different.

Hi I filed for my husband I-130 in Nov-21 status changed in March 22 to actively being reviewed I think the approval depends on type of application anyone has filed for their spouse? what is the timeline?
nefertiti guibApr 20, 2022
Hey y’all my i130 Case Is Being Actively Reviewed By USCIS for the past few months until yesterday it re-upudated and says the same thing again Today so what does that mean ? Did it ever happened to anyone before ?
sherry RamApr 20, 2022
What’s the next step case being actively reviewed
Dee GVanEApr 20, 2022
the next step after actively reviewing always depends. it can be either RFE or interview scheduled or biometrics appointment- all depending on where you’re Case is to start with. it regardless of anything means, they have your case in their hands and are actually looking over it.
S
Saleh MunassarApr 20, 2022
@Dee GVanE isn't the next step they ask fr some documents and then the case will be sent to the nvc
Dee GVanEApr 21, 2022
i mean, I send them the forms and all the supporting documents they needed for the forms. so for me they had the case being actively reviewed. I went to biometrics. I got afterwards the rEf for some more additional documents. it then took forever for them to review those (a second time case is being actively reviewed) and then eventually at some point they schedule interview & then eventually at some point they say oh congrats. or they w being annoying and let you wait 120 days for you to get frustrated again :D because everything is a wait
Dee GVanEApr 21, 2022
but that’s just in my personal case :D it can be different. some are being approved on the spot at the interview some people don’t. it always depends what officer has your case in first place and to which officer it goes next.

@nefertiti, the same thing just happened to me and thats what brought me here looking for answers. Petition for minor child submitted as permanent resident sept. 3, 2021 and changed to actively reviewing dec 3, 2021. Letter of relative category upgrade request sent July 8, 2022 as a citizen. Received Status update notification and when i checked, it was case actively being reviewed, except with a new date August 20, 2022. Could this just be a update because of the letter i sent? Im concerned it would rest my priority date.

Nicole TuesdayAug 21, 2022
Update! The petition was approved! I found other threads with helpful information regarding a case status being updated a second time with "case being actively reviewed" it most likely means the case has been approved. If you check the documents tab, the notice would be there be there. Best of luck to everyone and God continue to bless you! ❤️
