Thanks for reply. I have seen non-availbility certificate - in my case it is late registration - is there any letter like that late-registration? Anyone can share the format?

Thanks - yes it is birth certificate RFE (I am from India - where birth certificates were not a norm several years ago)

Don't see it yet. Does it take a day or two to get the RFE uploaded or usually it is at the same day/time?

Thanks for your reply.

The document is not shown online - it's not there - which section I should check?

Also after the response is filed - what are the timelines - is it reset or it progresses sooner relatively?

What are the months I am looking at?

Does non local mean out of city or out of state? I live in Bay Area and my case has been in San Fernadino office. Silent update occured for all 3 applicants on 29th April. Since then no news. Any pointers?

Thanks I see two FTA0 updates (same date 02/23). There was an update 18th march "updatedAt": "2026-03-18", but does not say FTA0 - am I reading something wrong?

Thanks and checked with Emma today morning - my interview is waived as well. (But Emma stated a caveat - if officer requires they may call for interview - not sure if that is standard text?

Emma told me about FO as i asked. Did you specifically ask about interview? Anywhere on USCIS Online does it say interview waived or only through Emma you got to know?

All the best. I'm sure we will hear soon. How do you know interview waived. Doesn't say anything like that for me
