Name updated notice on I130 but I did not file a name change

[nicnurse 1]

I just received the case update (below in bold) from the USCIS website regarding my I130. We filed back in November and are awaiting our NOA2. I have not contacted USCIS at all during this time and neither of us have had any name changes so I'm a little concerned about this update. Does anyone have any input on what this could mean and if I should contact them about it?

 

 

 

*** DO NOT RESPOND TO THIS E-MAIL *** 

There has been a recent processing action taken on your case. 

Receipt Number: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX 

Application Type: I130, PETITION FOR ALIEN RELATIVE 

Your Case Status: Initial Review 

On May 23, 2017, we updated your name for your Form I130, PETITION FOR ALIEN RELATIVE, Receipt Number XXXXXXXXXX. If you move, go to www.uscis.gov/addresschange to give us your new mailing address. 

During this step, USCIS initiates the background checks of the applicant/petitioner and identifies issues that may need to be addressed either during an interview or by asking the applicant/petitioner to submit additional information or documentation. USCIS reviews the applicant's/petitioner's criminal history, determines if there are national security concerns that need to be addressed, and reviews the application/petition for fraud indicators. If you have filed an I-485, I-589, I-751, N-400, I-90, I-821, I-131 or I-765, you can expect to receive an appointment notice to appear at an Application Support Center to have your fingerprints and/or photographs taken. The timing of your appointment is determined by the number of applicants ahead of you that also need a biometric appointment. We try to schedule biometric appointments as quickly as possible and in most cases you will receive your appointment notice within 30 days of submitting your application. We will send your appointment notice approximately 14 days ahead of your scheduled appointment. It is important that you keep this appointment. If absolutely necessary, you can request that your appointment be rescheduled however, please be aware that rescheduling may delay the processing of your application. Please follow the instructions on your appointment notice if you need to reschedule. Occasionally, you may receive an appointment notice to appear at an Application Support Center to have your fingerprints taken when you have filed a form other than those listed above. In these situations, you may receive your appointment notice more than 30 days after submitting your application or petition.

I did have a random update once - it was a system error.
