I am also wondering—does anyone know where to check this?

It'll show up on your status when someone starts looking at your case actively. For some people this status only lasts a couple of hours, for some others a few days. It's the status that will show up before your approval. I'm also still waiting for this, but as always a watched pot never boils. 😄

I was calling to ask about my Husband coming in on a student visa and changing our status to to an I-485. They let me know then that I was processing in Texas.

This is the number I call and then I say technical problem. I never wait more then 5 minutes to get put through to an actual person.

Wow, happy for you, but to be honest that just pisses me off....

I feel like I am seeing a lot of active review statuses in recent applications, is there a chance this is now a standardized status for new filers? I filed paper and got a ioe number and it seems I am in the same boat as others with the same status

[oscar12 23]

I honestly don't think there is any thing special about a case been actively reviewed, Is standard to my understanding. They are just letting you know that they are working on it. That means approval could take a month or 12 months. Immigration is just matter of filling your forms right and providing enough evidence to prove your case. If they feel convinced with your evidence and no background check issue, You get your approval. Every case is different and will always be because we all answer different name and all from different backgrounds.

 

There is also some element of luck that comes with it. It could either be a month or 12 months. I'm honestly just glad that my case was accepted because I starting freaking out a little bit when it took over 30 days just for the acceptance. That's the human nature and that's okay. Wish all of us the best of luck while we wait for our love ones to join us.

indeed, I've just noticed with a lot of earlier filers they received the active review status a few days before they get approved, before then they remain in 'we have received your application' status.

 

I'm just wondering if there is any significance to it at present or it is now just a standard status

It is just a standard status now. I filed the I-130 petition online in December and got the "We are actively processing your case" on the same day. There is no "your files got touched" thing anymore.

[navypilot29 16]

I never got the "We are actively processing your case" message.  Maybe they lost my paperwork somewhere!
