The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has reported that many immigrants experience anxiety upon receiving the status update that their case is being ‘actively reviewed.’ This status indicates that the case has moved into a review stage, which may involve various checks and assessments but does not guarantee immediate approval.
Key Details:
- The ‘actively reviewed’ status is common for cases such as I-130 family petitions, I-485 adjustment of status, H-1B petitions, I-140 employment petitions, and naturalization applications.
- The review process may include background checks, biometrics review, eligibility analysis, and consideration of Requests for Evidence (RFEs).
- The duration of the review can vary significantly based on factors such as USCIS workload, security checks, and case complexity.
- A second update of ‘actively reviewed’ is also common and usually does not indicate a problem with the application.
Understanding this status can help applicants manage their expectations and reduce anxiety during the waiting period. Need help with your immigration case? Visit QuickFiling.us for professional immigration services.
