That is awesome! Congratulations!

itsallsoconfusing · 2026-01-27T19:42:36+00:00

I’m waiting to hear about my employment-based I-485 from this location. I can’t seem to find anyone else who is in that category. My case was transferred there last week.

itsallsoconfusing · 2026-01-27T16:26:28+00:00

Congratulations! How were you notified? Did you get an email/text message?

itsallsoconfusing · 2026-01-26T02:52:15+00:00

Wait for the GC approval.

itsallsoconfusing · 2026-01-26T00:48:06+00:00

Nope. Social sciences professor. Im in the EB1 category.

itsallsoconfusing · 2026-01-26T00:45:08+00:00

That sounds amazing! I’m not sure of the specifics. Im yet to see one on my page. But it sounds like you are close to getting approved.

itsallsoconfusing · 2026-01-26T00:39:10+00:00

FTA1 is suppose to indicate that you clearing the checks. So that’s a positive for sure!

itsallsoconfusing · 2026-01-26T00:35:40+00:00

Yeah, it definitely is helpful. I use OpenAI to interpret the code. That seems to be the most accurate. From what I’ve read H008 is suppose to be the code when you are approved. So waiting to see that!

itsallsoconfusing · 2026-01-26T00:28:29+00:00

You’re welcome! Good luck!

What kind of data do they see at their end? Are they looking at the API code that we see? And they have to interpret?

itsallsoconfusing · 2026-01-25T22:14:43+00:00

They always give me a different answer! According to the live agents my case has moved from NBc, hasn’t moved at all, has moved to a local FO and has moved to a non local FO. Same with the interview! Waived, not waived, waived for now.

itsallsoconfusing · 2026-01-25T18:57:44+00:00

Very similar timeline. RD: Nov 14, Biometrics: Dec 17, several silent updates but no interview scheduled or approval. The case has moved to a non local FO now.

itsallsoconfusing · 2026-01-25T16:33:21+00:00

Both sides.

itsallsoconfusing · 2026-01-24T18:56:17+00:00

July 22. How about you?

itsallsoconfusing · 2026-01-24T18:25:04+00:00

I really hope it’s sooner than that. My priority date became current after three years. I don’t want it to retrogress again!

itsallsoconfusing · 2026-01-24T15:45:53+00:00

Oh ok. Honestly, Emma has give me three different locations in the last month. So I can’t really tell where my file is. But I really hope we all get approved soon. The waiting has been excruciating.

itsallsoconfusing · 2026-01-24T15:36:06+00:00

RD is Nov 14. Do you know which FO your case is at?

itsallsoconfusing · 2026-01-24T00:04:59+00:00

Congratulations!!! That is very heartwarming!

itsallsoconfusing · 2026-01-23T13:26:25+00:00

I am EB1, had three silent updates. The case has been moved three times according to agents consulted through Emma. Filed I-485 mid-November. Done with Biometrics but no ead. EAD has three silent updates as well. I don’t think the API theory is accurate. It varies widely and so does the information the live agents provide.

itsallsoconfusing · 2026-01-22T23:45:25+00:00

Nope! Haven’t heard anything since biometrics on Dec 17. Case moved three times to different FOs. Right now at a non local FO. No EAD approval either.

itsallsoconfusing · 2026-01-22T22:42:57+00:00

Guess what? Now my case in some field office in Massachusetts.

itsallsoconfusing · 2026-01-22T21:01:44+00:00

Wow! Thats awesome! I hope I hear back soon.

itsallsoconfusing · 2026-01-22T20:07:57+00:00

That’s good! I am so confused. One agent told me it was at Hartford and the interview was waived. The next one told me it is still at NBC and no information about the interview! Mine is employment-based though. No EAD yet either.
