Correspondence Was Received And USCIS Is Reviewing It( on I360, I485, I131)

I filed my application in Nov 2022 and received EAD. last month, I noticed that both my I-360 and I-485 statuses were updated with the same message: “Correspondence Was Received and USCIS Is Reviewing It.” What’s interesting is that even my I-131, which was already approved earlier, also got updated with the same “Correspondence Received” status on the same day. Has this happened to anyone before? Should I expect any response or action from USCIS, or is this just a routine update? I’m asking because I want to be prepared for what might come next. Please advise. Thank you for your support🙏🏻🙏🏻#vawa

EB I-485 after RFE — next steps timing? spouse case not updated

Hi — quick question (employment-based case). RFE response was delivered about 5–6 weeks ago. Case was stuck on “Response To RFE Received,” and recently changed to: “Correspondence Was Received And USCIS Is Reviewing It.” My derivative spouse case has not had the same update yet. For those who had this status change: • how long did it take to get the next update? • did your spouse case update at the same time or later? Thanks!
