I am a US citizen and I petitioned my spouse and on march 3rd will be one year since I filed.  What can I do if I do not get any response to my application.  I check on line and says under active review since they send the receipt back in March 2022.  The USCIS portal where you enter your information and it tells you when you should now, its past that date.  Help.  Thanks

Looks like you are well within normal processing according to other VJ members.  Patience is the key.  According to VJ stats, the average time for I-130s at Nebraska is 405 days.

Well today I received an email from USCIS that there has been a change on my case to log in and see it.  I did log in and the change is that the case is now actively being reviewed on 3/29/2023, (before the date was March 3rd, 2022.)  I guess that is progress.

So I filed my I 130 and have my Notice dated 02/28/2022.  Religiously every Monday, I log on to my account and saw my case was actively being reviewed with a date of 03/03/2022.  On 3/30/2023, I received an email from USCIS to log into my account as there was an update.  I loged in and saw that now it said that my case was actively being reviewed by the date change to 03/29/2023.  Then this morning, on 3/31/2023, I received the same sort of email from USCIS and I log into my account and my application is approved.   It took a whole day to get that approved.  Great.

What any sensible human would consider "active review" takes an average of 20 to 30 minutes.  USCIS active review status just means it's in a queue to be reviewed.  Congratulations.

Wife's N-400 was under "active review" from Aug7. 2022 (the day it was filed online) until Nov 9th, 2022 (the day her interview was scheduled).  An "Active review" email is a gimmick.
