It means your case has been approved and it will be sent to NVC for processing.  You should be getting a notification from NVC next with how they will process.  I have included a link that should give you an idea of what to expect as well as the documents and stuff that you should have prepared or should be preparing.

"We have had to perform additional review and this has caused a delay in processing time. Your case is currently with an adjudicating officer."

 

 🙌

What does that mean usually?Anyone have any ideas?  Did you get this after receiving NOA2?

Additional review is one of the most generic things they can tell you, so I only know what it means in the context of my own case. We don't have our NOA2 yet so no but now that our case is actually with an officer I feel good that we should be hearing something (either approval or RFE) in the next few weeks.

I am not a lawyer and nothing I say is or should be taken as legal advice.

Oh i see, makes sense. Best luck. Yes, agreed. Hang in there, slowly but surely.

 

My husband called USCIS, apparently our case wasn't sent yet and the rep told him he is sending it as they speak and gave him a confirmation number ,  told him to expect to get a case number in 30 days. I am glad it was sorted out  for us both. I was getting worried after 3 months.

No kidding! 3 months is a long time to wait for it to be sent. I'm glad that it was finally sorted out and you'll be able to move on to the next step soon :)

Woah. That's super fast. Do they just have less workload to manage or something? or do they just manage spousal visas?
