Case Was Received VS Case is Being Actively Reviewed

[HKC 1]

Hello,

 

I'm a USC and I recently filed a standalone I-130 for my wife back in last December.

I mailed my I-130 to a lockbox and I received NOA1 in Dec 15th with a IOE receipt number.

 

When I check the case using the receipt number, it shows "Case Was Received and A Receipt Notice Was Sent". However, I know couple other cases who filed around the same time as me showing "Case is Being Actively Reviewed".

I also saw someone saying that their case changed to “actively reviewed” within like a day after their submission and now I'm extra concerned.

How long does it usually take to be shown as "Case is being actively reviewed"? Is my case being delayed until it changes to "Case is being actively reviewed"?

 

Thank you so much!

Hi, we have applied on November 26 and I completed my biometrics on Dec 19. After my biometrics my case status was changed to case is being actively reviewed

Thank you for your response!

 

Is there a biometrics for standalone I130? Are you concurrent filing with I485?

 

Thank you!

I filed with I485. Based on other posts status will change after biometrics

I don't think I will get biometrics since I'm a standalone filer without the I-485

That is correct, but "active review" is meaningless.  A stand alone I-130 for spouse will receive about 20 minutes of actual "review" by a person moments before it is approved.  In the meantime, it's a black hole, always has been.

This is a thread and sub-forum about cases going through consular processing abroad.  Concurrent filing of I-130/I-485 for AOS while in the US is a different process, and your timeline will not be like those cases discussed in this sub-forum.  Instead, join the VJ discussions here -- https://www.visajourney.com/forums/forum/130-adjustment-of-status-from-work-student-amp-tourist-visas/ and https://www.visajourney.com/forums/forum/138-adjustment-of-status-case-filing-and-progress-reports/
