Urgent: I-485 updated from REF to case being actively reviewed

[2monkeys 6]

Hi guys,

Hope everyone is doing well and staying safe.

 

I just received a notification that my I-485 is being actively reviewed and “nothing is outstanding at this time”. I presume this is usually a good news but its troubling me because i got REF on Dec 16 and didn’t sumbit requested evidence. 
 

 

fyi, REF was regarding my birth certificate (which was in line with the guidance and was planning to submit the exact same docs) and the affidavit of support (my husband makes enough income but his fed tax filing hasn’t been properly recorded due to his overseas residence and it is being processed by the irs. We also explained the situation in the application and submitted evidences of other financial assets).

 

I spoke with a live agent via chart about this but she just recommended to response to the ref and disconnected the chat..

 

 

Did anyone have the same issue? Can i take the latest update “nothing is outstanding” at face value and not submit previously requested evidence? If it’s the case nothing is outstanding, I just don’t want to respond to an REF and create any confusion to my case...

 

Appreciate any thoughts / advice..  Thanks so much!!

USCIS has been known to misplace documents.

 

You should respond, providing what was requested even if you had sent it initially else you case might get denied.

 

A case been "actively reviewed and “nothing is outstanding at this time”" is one of the default messages to expect from USCIS. 

To me it just means that someone looked at your file.

No. Respond to that RFE. You don’t want a denial

Agreed with previous posts: disregard the online status and respond to the RFE ASAP. Otherwise you case will very likely be denied

Thanks guys.. really appreciate your advice/thoughts. We might need to find a joint sponsor which might take some time but our deadline is in March. I probably got this generic message as a response to my biometrics

Can you tell me where is the live chat option? I always have to email or call

You can speak to an agent through Emma, uscis’ virtual assistance.

this is the hack to get an agent. The website is in Korean but just follow screen shoots

I have the same update on mine can you please tell me what did you do ?

i received 2 updates in one day

first it says cancellation for request of evidence 

second it says we have send you a request for evidence 

And then it says actively review

Interesting... I had a RFE December 8, 2021. They received the RFE on December 14, 2021. My wife was scheduled biometrics Decemeber23, 2021 for January 18, 2022 and now we are in limbo. The only thing we see on the USCIS website is a green check mark and  - Response received on Wednesday, May 11, 2022 at 3:05 pm. We will review the evidence. Of course it states the generic Case is being actively reviewed by USCIS. Should I give them a call? Or am I being impatient?
