After four months from Appeal EOIR-29 I got this update in my case:

Case Was Reopened

On January 19, 2016, we reopened your Form I-130, Immigrant Petition for Relative, Fiance(E), or Orphan, Receipt Number **************, and mailed you a notice. Please follow the instructions in the notice. If you do not receive your reopening notice by February 18, 2016, please go to www.uscis.gov/e-request to request a copy of the notice. If you move, go to www.uscis.gov/addresschange to give us your new mailing address.

Next Step:

We will mail our decision to you. The notice will explain any action you need to take.

To let you know my appeal still with USCIS officer and I contacted NCSC many times and made an INFOPASS but I got no response from them so two weeks ago I contacted my congressman to inquire about my appeal and I got this update on my case, please if anyone know what that update means?

Are they going to approve my case or what?

Hello,

I am in the same situation . My EOIR 29 was remanded back to the USCIS on 1/20/2016. I have contacted the USCIS since then several times and they tell that my case is with the BIA even though it has been remanded back to the USCIS. I mailed a letter to my congressman for assistance and received a reply that they would assist me but I haven't heard from them for a few weeks now. I think it won't harm you to ask them for help. It might be a good idea to ask them to expedite your case and see if that helps. They usually respond back in a maximum of 5 days.

P.S. Can you tell me how long did you wait between when you received your notice from the BIA and the one from the USCIS?

Hi Smarty18, I got two letters from USCIS office in Jan,24 2016 in one package. In 1st letter they reopened my case and deal with my appeal as a motion to reopen, second letter was approval notice.

My Congerssman helped me for that, I think one of main reasons for approval is when I wrote hole details about my case to congerssman let them know that they made mistakes on my case that I discovered 3 months later from my appeal

Keep on contacting your congerssman office and provide with details every week so that they can make BIA expedite your appeal.

What makes me hopeless is lawyers advices, thay all scared of dealing with cases especially when cases are required appeal, all of them told me to refile a new petition, No one stand with my appeal so I did it myself and I won.

Be patient if your case and marriage is real and still provide them with available documents. At the end they will approve it.

Thank you

Thank you for that information. Did you get any written information from the BIA saying that your case was remanded back to the USCIS?

No, my case did not transfer to BIA, and the officer who denied my case reopened it and approved at the same time.
