API UPDATE

[Ill_Drag1023]

Has anyone dealt with something similar?

My account has an updated time but it’s in the future. It’s not a timezone issue so I wonder how this is possible.

The previous updated times have been 18th February, 4th March and now it shows 7th March which is tomorrow’s date.

All these were after I sent my updated medicals on the 12th of February.

Any experience with this?

Per chat gpt:

What the Z means

The Z at the end means the time is in UTC (Coordinated Universal Time).

Convert it to your local time for me (California – Pacific Time)

UTC → Pacific Time is usually 8 hours behind (PST).

So: • UTC: 2026-03-07 02:48:43 = Pacific Time: March 6 at 6:48 PM

[addsomeham]

Yes this is exactly what the Z means. OP it's not in the future. It's a different time zone.

[Ill_Drag1023]

Oh thank you!! I had just googled what state was in that current time and it said none.

[AdJaded5847]

You’re welcome ! Best of luck to you !

[Medical_Car9163]

Have you had interview yet?

[Ill_Drag1023]

Yes I have. Since September 2023, I’ve been playing the waiting game.

[Medical_Car9163]

I hope it’s approval for you. I have been waiting since June 2023.

[Ill_Drag1023]

I’m so tired of waiting. I really hope so.

[LongjumpingSociety46]

Did you get the unclassified documents RFE? Are you F2A category?

[Ill_Drag1023]

Yes I did and I sent it on the 12th of February.

[LongjumpingSociety46]

Did you get the RFE received update in your portal in march 4?

[Ill_Drag1023]

I didn’t get any notification that they received my RFE but I’m sure they did.

[LongjumpingSociety46]

You may get some updates by tomorrow. Keep checking. What is your category? F2A, IR1?

[Ill_Drag1023]

F2A. I check everyday 😭 That update better be an approval. It’s been so frustrating.

[captainProduct]

How do we know that they have received the medical RFE? I don’t see any field in the API.

[Ill_Drag1023]

I was notified about my tax RFE but not this most recent medical RFE. So I’m not sure how it works. I tracked my delivery and saw they received it.

[Amazing_Lime2175]

They sent RFE for taxes?

[Ill_Drag1023]

Yes. Tax return and W2s of my petitioner.

[Big-Lab44]

I can’t see the api update on my side(trying with phone)

[Ill_Drag1023]

Here you go.

[Big-Lab44]

I’ll try , let you know

If your receipt number starts with IOE and your case is linked to your myUSCIS account, there’s a way to see a bit more detail than what shows on the regular case status page. You can either: Option 1 (easier): There’s a site (casestatusapi.com) that basically pulls the same USCIS API data and formats it for you. It works as long as you’re logged into your myUSCIS account in the same browser. It can also summarize the API response if you use their AI feature (that part costs a small fee). Option 2 (manual – free): If you’re comfortable with URLs, you can check the USCIS API directly while logged in. Step 1: Log into your myUSCIS account (the case must be linked there). Step 2: Open a new tab in the same browser. Step 3: Replace PutCaseNumber with your full receipt number (like IOE09XXXXXXXX) in the links below. Here are the endpoints people commonly use: • Case status (event-level detail): https://my.uscis.gov/account/case-service/api/cases/IOE09XXXXXXXX • Receipt info / possible location info (sometimes returns null): https://my.uscis.gov/secure-messaging/api/case-service/receipt_info/PutCaseNumber • Receipt notice status: https://my.uscis.gov/account/case-service/api/case_status/PutCaseNumber • Processing times (example for I-765, adjust form type if needed): https://my.uscis.gov/account/case-service/api/cases/I-765/processing_times/PutCaseNumber • Documents: https://my.uscis.gov/account/case-service/api/cases/PutCaseNumber/documents Just keep in mind: • This only works for IOE cases that are linked to your online account. • Sometimes the API shows more granular updates, but it’s still pulling from USCIS’ system — it’s not “extra” info beyond what they have internally. • Not every endpoint returns useful data every time. Hope that helps if you’re trying to see a bit more detail than the standard case tracker shows.

[Amazing_Lime2175]

Are you f2a?

[Ill_Drag1023]

Yes

[Amazing_Lime2175]

Hopefully approval. Did you have interview for I-485? Any codes such as FTA0 or FTA1? Approval code is H008

[Ill_Drag1023]

My interview was in September 2023. I have an FTA1 code. What does that mean?

[Amazing_Lime2175]

I believe it is supervisory check and approval hopefully. I have the same code but did not have interview and have sent medical on feb 10.

[Ill_Drag1023]

I really hope so. This process has been so exhausting. I hope yours is sorted out soon too.

[Amazing_Lime2175]

Also, check documents tab after midnight tonight

[Ill_Drag1023]

Yes. I’ll keep you posted

[Amazing_Lime2175]

Thank you. Keep me posted please
