administrative action

[Ramsha Asif 0]

hey, i got my invoice id on may 2019. my grandfather was the petitioner and unfortunately he passed in 2017. so my grandmother who is living there submiited an application to nvc to make her the substitute sponsor/petitioner and proceed with the case since she's old and sick. NVC sent the case back to USCIS for administrative action. and it's there since 15 april 2020. I want to know what does this administrative action mean and how long does this take?

There is no set time. The proper time to have updated USCIS was when he passed away. But who was your grandfather petitioning for?   You would have been a derivative of his child. Did your parent(s) not enter?

I am Ramsha Asif's father, yes she is a derivative, and my wife is the principal applicant. we're still stuck there and have received no email since then. are you an immigration lawyer ?
