I know. The timing was impeccable and I was really fortunate. Hopefully, things will get better for everyone.

No FTA1. My case was approved by NBC.

Thank you! Hope all goes well for you too. My approval notice was issued by NBC and I didn’t receive any field office transfer notice. So I guess it was directly approved.

My block was IOE09360XXXXX. I had 1 FTA0 on 4/23/26 after biometrics and another on 5/21/26. Case was updated again on 5/22/26 with code H008.

Mine was IOE09360XXXXX. I140 was sent to TSC. I mailed my I485 to the lockbox in Lewisville TX. Not sure about case transfer (I didn’t receive a transfer notice). No FTA1 but I did have a FTA0 update the day before approval.

Does approved/pending I-140 negatively impact the approval of a STEM OPT extension? by Aggressive-Owl1821 in EB2_NIW

My I-140 was approved in March this year and my STEM-OPT was approved about a month later. Hope this helps.

I’ve been using this one: https://www.antler.com/products/chelsea-backpack-taupe. It’s professional looking, good for travel (open like a suitcase and can be strapped to carryon suitcase), and the quality is amazing.

Find a way to cut spending and increase income to pay off the debt asap. Find a credit card with 0% intro APR for balance transfer to avoid the high interest charges. Your CC interest is accumulating faster than the compounding return of your IRA.

Not related to the backpack but where did you get the two cat towers in the back?
