I-130 Case Closed Meaning??

[Stephaniesl 0]

Hello,

I submitted an I-130 application for my husband in June 2020. It was escalated to the NVC and was accepted on September 17, 2022. We are currently awaiting an interview at the US Embassy in Beirut. I am a permanent resident with a green card and recently applied for US citizenship last week. The citizenship application is pending, and I haven't completed any biometric steps yet. However, I received a case update on my USCIS account indicating that my I-130 case has been closed. What does this closure mean? Should I be concerned given that we are waiting for our scheduled interview? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Was I-130 approved?

When the I-130 is approved it moves to NVC. The I-130 case is then closed at USCIS. 

This is totally normal. If you had looked up your USCIS number October 2022 on the USCIS website-  you would have seen the same message "case closed"

Yes it was back in Sept 2022, that is why it was moved to NVC. But they never closed the case until now.

Oh okay, it wasn’t closed in October 2022. It was closed now that is why I got worried.

Case will stay closed because it is approved. This is normal. It does not always get closed the same day as approved. If DoS sends case back to USCIS, it will be re-opened

Ah! I shouldn’t have stated it with certainty. Our case was closed at USCIS about 1 week after it moved to NVC.
