What does UNDER REVIEW mean????????

I filed about a month ago, with EEOC and I had not heard nothing back as yet. So I telephoned today and the woman said I should be getting a letter next week stating my greivence is under review? So why has it taken over a month, and why the review? Does that mean they are doing an investigation? This is all new to me, so please answer honestly as this is a serious inquiry. Thank you

It usually means it is in the process somewhere. It may be an investigation. or someone may be looking at it to see if there is a need for an investigation, or the investigation is complete and they are looking to see what was found. Basically the timeline you are reffering to is because it is a beuracracy and beuracracies take a lot of time to do a simple thing.

Means it is on the back burner or filed under 'lost'

That is just PC talk for they are still processing your request.

Since that is a department that works complaints, they may have many ahead of yours. They are still gathering the information and then this information needs to be reviewed. They will not just take your word for something. This takes time. So be patient and you will get your answer as soon as they can get it to you.

It means they are looking and evaluating it .

yes this means they are are investigating the situation, checking it out and trying to determine what the outcome should be.

I have no idea what you are about but the hints here are they like put you on hold and there not anybody there. they may assume you are more hassle than the issue is worth. like when you have a bad hair day and they thing gets you out of the wrong side of the bed and the cause of what you want aren't of interest to be opened if you got the keys to Pandora's box and your making a move i gotta go hear hear the door bell.
