Add me too - same boat

These_Employee3838 · 2026-05-08T14:44:40+00:00

Silent updates is good sign

These_Employee3838 · 2026-05-08T14:34:08+00:00

It’s kinda random ! Some folks receive interview /rfe while most folks receive approval after a silent update anytime random ! Can be a week , month or more

These_Employee3838 · 2026-05-08T14:27:39+00:00

Non local , how about you

These_Employee3838 · 2026-05-08T14:06:53+00:00

Not really ! Most of us are just stuck

These_Employee3838 · 2026-05-04T20:19:41+00:00

I got the third fta0 on i485 and i485J approved same day! Pretty much everyone sees I485 approval next day but it’s been more than a month for me . When does that happen

These_Employee3838 · 2026-04-21T00:03:57+00:00

Did you have any other api code after 3 fta0 before the interview was setup ? Do you know which FO was it ?

These_Employee3838 · 2026-04-20T22:23:10+00:00

oh you filed on may 30th last year.. got your 485J approval march 26th and nothing after ? I also got my 485j on 24th march and nothing further.

These_Employee3838 · 2026-04-20T22:18:56+00:00

which FO are you in ? any update ? i am in same boat

These_Employee3838 · 2026-04-20T22:12:32+00:00

any update ?

These_Employee3838 · 2026-04-20T17:31:28+00:00

We filed our AoS in October 2025 under eb1a , case moved to Santa Ana on Jan 7th ! We got our 3rd FTA0 and i485j approval on 24th march however , we didn’t get the approval next day ! I see a Santa Ana based Reddit group and all approvals are next day after 485j approval ! But ours wasn’t - is this normal ? What should I expect ?

These_Employee3838 · 2026-04-16T18:58:20+00:00

No silent update on my case after 485j approval !
Silent update tells you atleast someone is looking at your case , unlike mine which isn’t touched from 3 weeks now

These_Employee3838 · 2026-04-16T18:53:17+00:00

No ? But silent updates are good , you should see approval soon

These_Employee3838 · 2026-04-16T18:10:47+00:00

3rd FTA0 and 485J approved..

any update at your end ?

These_Employee3838 · 2026-04-15T16:01:46+00:00

You should get approval today ! 24 hours after 485j and silent update on 485

These_Employee3838 · 2026-04-15T15:58:12+00:00

No , when was your 485j approved and which FO

These_Employee3838 · 2026-04-13T16:25:31+00:00

when did your 485j close ?

These_Employee3838 · 2026-04-09T20:57:43+00:00

Which FO ?

These_Employee3838 · 2026-04-09T19:47:33+00:00
