Hello House. Please what does it mean to not have access to your USCIS I-130 online petition? My hubby tried to know the status of our case as usual and of all a sudden, they are asking for an online code before we can access it. We don't know the code...

Please what does it mean to be asked to input an online code before we can access our USCIS petition?

Must be the dual stage authentication.  USCIS always sends me a phone text with a code to verify identity when logging in.  Pretty standard.  They sometimes can use email instead to send the code.

Normally, they let us direct access once we log in. They used to show us something like our case is actively being reviewed. Then today we are seeing a different thing all together

Every time I log in to USCIS, I have to enter a code.

Thank you, but they didn't send us any code 😔

@Eberechi to simply check case status, you don't need to log in.

 

You can do it here by entering case number and pressing button "Check Status"

That is correct, but do not expect any actual updates between filing and either 1. Approval, 2. RFE, or 3 Denial

After how many days from the date of the submission of the petition did your case status change to ‘actively being reviewed’ ?

That is actually meaningless.  It has no real meaning....sadly.

The only way to know is to wait.

I think it was roughly 3 days. That was after they sent my husband a mailbox. We filed in May 2023, our case is currently six months old. Our center is Nebraska

Probably not.  "Active review" does not mean anybody is doing anything.  Once the case gets in queue, it simply waits its turn for a human to spend less than 30 minutes "processing" or "reviewing", then a decision is made.
