"Case is being actively review" update generic?

[Cookie88 91]

Is the "Case is being actively reviewed" status update generic, I am assuming? We have progressing I-130's for myself (the beneficiary spouse) and 2 children - they all got the status update simultaneously, which makes me think after a set time frame they just update it automatically? That no one actually probably touched the application yet...

"Case is being actively reviewed" is virtually meaningless.  It could mean a decision is pending in days, weeks, or months.  Your I-130 was sent 1 week ago.

first "case is being actively reviewed" means nothing. they took ur money and put ur file on the shelves. mine was like that for 19 months. obviously u dont think that they actively reviewed 1 case for 19 months. 

 

when u got the second "case is being actively reviewed" many months/year later, thats when someone actually touch and work on ur case and usually mean decision

If it is first actively reviewed many months into the process or the date of actively reviewing updates many months into the process, it is at least worth logging into your online account and looking in your documents folder to see if there is an approval notice.  Sometimes you would find that a day or two before any notification.  Or,,,, it may mean nothing.
