I got one of these emails saying they last took action on my case July 19th (and "We are still reviewing your case and there are no updates at this time") yesterday.  So it sounds like this email doesn't really mean anything, given that some people have gotten it several times?

June 2016: We started writing to each other

June-July 2017: Met in person in the US for our first anniversary

December 2017 - January 2018: Met again in the US and got engaged

01/09/2018: I-129F sent to the USCIS Dallas Lockbox via FedEx

01/16/2018: Received NOA1 (NOA1 notice date: 01/11/2018)

June-July 2018: Met in person in Singapore and Australia for our second anniversary

08/03/2018: Notice date on our NOA2 (updated in USCIS's new website on August 6)

08/15/2018: Our case reached NVC

08/22/2018: Received NVC case number

09/04/2018: Our package left NVC (arrived 9/11, and she sent packet 3 that day)

09/20/2018: Received packet 4; scheduled interview

10/30/2018: Interview - told that we're approved!  Now waiting to receive the visa...
11/27/2018: Port of Entry at BWI

12/1/2018: Our wedding!

12/8/2018: Filed AoS on the way to our honeymoon (12/8-15/2018)
6/~7/2019: EAD and AP approved
09/25/2019: AOS interview in Orlando -- approval and green card!

Next step, June 2019: Filing I-751

 

Note: My wife is a Singaporean.  She moved to Australia before we met and got permanent residency there.

You need to be careful with that because you are right in certain cases some emails doesnt really mean anything due to some USCIS "gliches" recently, but there are some important stuff sent from them, so keep your eyes open and watching everything coming from USCIS.

If your fiancé submitted another k1 within the last 2 years he needs to include a multiple filer waiver with his current petition.  If it is not included there will be an RFE 

but they didnt request this form in the petition they only asked to mention if he filled this petition before and give details ..It was cancelled by my fiance just before interview and the visa wasnt issued ...
