I-130 IR2 minor stepchild of USC, USCIS

[HKS 169]

I already went through IR1 with my husband and now we are going through IR2 with his son. We are stuck at the USCIS stage. It is my understanding that the USCIS stage. Since Ive already gone through this and all the documents have already been approved, looked at etc through my husband's I-130 isnt' it logical to think that it wouldnt take as long to get though the USCIS stage? Or do they dumbly just start over like they've never seen the information before. 

Also, Does anyone actually know what they are doing when they "review" a case? My case went into "review" in June 2022. 

(IR2 minior stepchild of USC.)

 

Thanks for any input.

No.  Every case is different.  Every case requires a different set of documents to be reviewed.  Every case starts at the back of the queue.

Only one additional document.

"review' doesnt mean anything. my case has been "review" for 19 months. it actually just sitting on the corner collecting the dust

It's a totally different case.  A previous IR case has no bearing on a later IR case.  I assume you are trying to expedite.

They say a lot of things have "no bearing" on a case and they acutally do.  But yeah Ive heard it all about expediting. And I did get my husband's case expedited from NVC to interview. Im just trying to figure out how USCIS is working these days. It is much different than each year it seems. I did figure out a few tricks before. Came here to see if anyone else discovered anything lately. 

And yes I understand every case is different.
