USCIS reopened a case that had been decided or closed, either on its own or because a motion to reopen or reconsider was granted.
The case is pending again. USCIS may ask for more evidence or issue a new decision. If the earlier decision was a denial, keep your attorney involved.

Either USCIS reopened it on its own, for example to correct an error, or it granted a motion to reopen or reconsider (often filed on Form I-290B).
It depends on why. After a denial, it means you get another review. If an approved case was reopened, read the notice closely and involve an attorney.
The case is pending again. Expect a new decision, possibly after a Request for Evidence or an interview.
