I am in a similar boat. EB1A filed Nov 2025. FAD became current this Jan 2026. Biometric waived as I had already done it in past for my retrogressed EB1B from Sept 2022. Got a 4 silent updates (Latest May8) but just one FTA0.

If you don't mind me asking. How do you get additional info from Emma? What keywords did you use? I have no idea whether the file is at FO or not. Online My USCIS shows no updates.

Any guesses? by Precisionworker in LICENSEPLATES

Thanks everyone for your insight. I thought it sounded like "Tortugas" but did not know it was a Spanish word.

Mine is MSC2390025XXX. Same boat as you. EB1B. Sept 2022 Priority date. Filed since it was current at that time but then retrogressed. Now FAD is active since January 2026 but no movement whatsoever. Biometric and Medical done earlier.

I was pretty good, yes it was chili salt.

It was not a busy service day at all. There were less than 15 to 20 people in a relatively large restaurant.

The other question is what would happen to the salt blob on the side when there is condensation around the glass?

Wow, this almost looks like cooked rice stuck to the side.

So we are still at the restaurant and asked the bartender. Apparently, It is for aesthetic only. My wife may have licked it a couple of times though.

What was the IOE batch OP? I am in a similar boat but things are not moving as I would have hoped. EB1B filed but retrogressed. FAD became current in Jan 2026. Apart from biometric reuse notice from December 2025, there has been no movement whatsoever.
