Good morning. My husband (US Citizen) applied sent in I-130 back in 2019 for his sister (Japanese citizen). Yesterday, he received an email that they assigned a new receipt number to the case. Does this mean anything regarding movement on the case? It seems pretty fast. Why would they assign a new case number? Thanks for any insight you can provide, Google searches are turning up empty.

Brother/sister of USC is F4 PD is not current 

USCIS approves the petition and sends it to the NVC, but the NVC will not process the petition for an immigrant visa interview until the PD becomes current, according to the U.S. Department of State. The NVC will then notify the applicant via a welcome letter or email once the PD becomes current or is likely to become current soon, according to Nolo.

Presumably you mean it’s now an ‘IOE’ case? That just means it’s been made digital, as said above, it doesn’t change anything. Still probably 20+ years to go I’m afraid.
