USCIS changed date of active review

[LilyCasper 4]

We filed for a CR1 spousal visa on Dec 31 2021. On June 14 2022, we received a case update. USCIS was actively reviewing it. We have been in limbo ever since, until now. When I checked for case updates, it now states they are actively reviewing our case since...February 23 2023...instead of June 14 2022. The message is exactly the same, but they changed the date. Does anyone have experience with this? Did our case slip through the cracks and did they suddenly find it again?

According to other VJ members, you are very close to an I-130 decision.  Your case is not outside normal processing times.  Looks like you are on schedule.

Thank you for your reply. I hope you are right. I was unable to find a case where they had changed the active review date.

Those dates change constantly.  It simply means someone looked at a file or you inquired.  Those dates mean very little.  Good luck.

Oh okay. Because nothing had changed in our case for months, I was under the impression that said date indicated when they first start reviewing the case and that it wouldn't change until the next step. Thank you for enlightening me.

Sometimes actively reviewing means nothing as you found in June of 22.  However, late in the game it 'might' (or might not) mean something.  It's worth logging into your USCIS account and checking your documents tab for an approval notice.

Sadly, nothing has changed.

I meant February 3, but I couldn't find a way to edit or delete my post. Sorry.

Since the 3rd was Friday,  maybe your approval notice will show up in your account tomorrow 🤞🏻
