I-485 in Active Review, But No Updates on I-130
What does it mean that my I-485 is in active review but my I-130 has no updates?
If you find yourself in a situation where your I-485 shows that it is “in active review” but there are no updates on your I-130, you are understandably concerned. Let’s break down what this could mean.
Is my I-130 approved?
First, it’s important to understand that the “in active review” status of one application does not imply that the other application is being reviewed at the same time. While it would make sense for both to be reviewed together, since they were filed together, this is not always the case.
Changes in processing times
Traditionally, prior to the pandemic, these cases used to take about 12 months and included an interview. However, in 2023 and 2024, we have seen changes in trends, and in many cases, interviews are being skipped.
