Hi Guys, I called USCIS today and they mentioned that my file (I-130) is assigned to an officer. He did not want to tell any thing more. Does it mean that I am one step closer to be approved or it does not mean anything? I appreciate any reply. Thanks.
Don't quote me, but it sounds like your file may be with an adjudicator .... in which case that's brilliant
Put it this way, it hasn't been lost in a dusty cupboard .... someone alive actually has your file, and hopefully will start working on it.
Goodluck
