Greetings from the core of my heart

My family members case has been in A.P since 2018. Two days before, i logged in to ceac.state.gov website and then to DS 261 Online Alien Registration, there i saw my family members online filled DS-260 stating "case has been reopened". And above it said that one or more cases has been reopened please sign-in and submit the forms which I did. So, wanted to ask that what is this for? This has been my second time i did it.

Did you receive a notification from the Embassy before submitting it?  The Embassy usually contacts applicants to update and resubmit the DS-260 when they are ready to continue processing the case. ( For instance if a case is in  AP for more than one year and finally they are ready to proceed with your case, they will ask u to update and submit the DS-260 and if another interview, you will have to come with updated document...)

Thanks Beyrl for your comment.

I did not receive a notification from the embassy to sign-in and resubmit the DS-260 form. Neither did our sponser receive any kind of notification. I visited the DS-261 section (Alien Reg) by chance on the ceac.state.gov website and I saw that our DS-260 forms requires to be signed-in and submitted. So I did that. This is my and my family's second time to sign-in and submit. The sign-in and submit thing happened when almost a complete year and a few days passed.
