What it means for your I-929

An officer is reviewing the I-929. Because USCIS generally decides it together with or after the U-1 holder's I-485, check that case's status too. Extra evidence of family ties and hardship is often what moves this review forward, so keep it organized and ready.

In general, on any form:

An officer or system is working on your case. USCIS uses this status for many steps, so it can appear more than once. It does not mean a decision is coming soon. Many cases stay here for a long time.

Avoid these mistakes

Reading this status as a sign that approval is days away.
Filing duplicate applications because nothing seems to happen.

Quick questions

What does "Case Is Being Actively Reviewed By USCIS" mean on an I-929?

An officer is reviewing the I-929. Because USCIS generally decides it together with or after the U-1 holder's I-485, check that case's status too. Extra evidence of family ties and hardship is often what moves this review forward, so keep it organized and ready.

Why did my status go back to 'Actively Reviewed'?

USCIS reuses this message for many internal steps. A repeat does not mean something went wrong.

Does 'Actively Reviewed' mean an officer is looking at my file today?

Not always. It often reflects a system update, not daily work on your file.

Should I contact USCIS?

Only if your case is outside the normal processing time for your form and office.

How long does an I-929 take?

The typical range published by USCIS is 32 to 41 months. It depends on the office and your case; it is not an exact date.
