Columbus Ohio field office. My I-130 was showing action required false on API after interview on the 22nd of January, now it’s showing action required true on API since the 13th of March and no action code on it as well. No timestamp or code on my I-485 or I-765 yet. Don’t know what to expect. I’m curious if anyone has gone through this before. Tanx
