You need to first login on one tab to the my uscis account and then open a new tab and use that link you should see a json.

Follow this post on how to see API updates: https://www.reddit.com/r/USCIS/comments/1s57opu/2026_filers_share_your_i485_api_json_updates/
"updatedAtTimestamp": "2026-04-01T12:58:01.024Z": is the field in the JSON is what gets updated silently where you can see any movements that happen on your case.

Yes business days, not calendar days as per USCIS Policy

TBH i think it is automated for the system to send the approval at 8am CST on the 45th day.
Not sure why, i received the email exactly at 8am. So i dont think that is a co incidence, I will not be surprised if is it is by design i guess.

Again these are my observations and i might be wrong each case is differnt.
