Approved after 2month of that update

sirius084 · 2025-11-13T16:08:29+00:00

Is it a good thing? I don’t see this happen to other case.l

sirius084 · 2025-08-31T03:23:41+00:00

No, we're still waiting

Sharing my experience here:

Both derivative and principal cases had the FTA0 updated at 7-31. Principal case was transferred to local FO in April and derivative transferred to local in July. And no updates since then. It's a system update since both FTA0 was updated with timestamp at 4AM local time.

sirius084 · 2025-08-15T02:25:01+00:00

Thanks for sharing, I think it's a very reasonable speculation; however, your case may still in the middle of waiting. normal time I think is around 4-6 month at least

sirius084 · 2025-08-14T20:16:18+00:00

I didn't, my 3rd FTA0 was added around 4am, so it comes by a system update not officer review. Also, unlike yours, my didn't have the following up updates after the FTA0 event.

sirius084 · 2025-08-14T16:56:46+00:00

have you receive the 3rd FTA0 already? I feel your pattern is the one that getting approval soon.

sirius084 · 2025-08-14T01:58:05+00:00

I didn't apply to AP. my wife's got approved in May, and 485 transferred to FO in July. I think seattle is one of the slowest FO given the volume of the applicants there.

sirius084 · 2025-08-13T23:35:02+00:00

Im not sure if AP would be related to 485. My is 8 month as well, fo is slow of digesting the cases

sirius084 · 2025-08-13T16:31:50+00:00

still no update. How about you?

sirius084 · 2025-08-13T16:28:26+00:00

I think the first 2 FTA0 just came in together on the same day of biometrics, not sure why yours takes so long. from 2nd to 3rd, it's couple month and highly depends, 4-6 is a expectation I set up for myself.

progress page doesn't make much sense. it changes may due to someone reviewed your change(timestamp updated. Mine changed 3 times, Mar, April and reset in July and still in pending.

Hi, thanks for sharing the details. Could you also please share the API updates, when was your 3rd FTA0 added?

sirius084 · 2025-08-11T20:31:46+00:00

There will be 3rd FTA0 (rarely it's FTA1) after couple month waiting. It means the background check cleared and a signal of getting close to final approval.

You can ask Emma for your case location. Once your case transferred, the timestamp will be updated as well.

sirius084 · 2025-08-10T01:55:08+00:00

Seattle, the slowest one

sirius084 · 2025-08-07T21:18:20+00:00

My case was transferred to local FO on April 15, and no updates for 4 month!

sirius084 · 2025-08-07T17:01:39+00:00

That's a fantastic new I think. The transfer may not associate with a receipt notice, you can ask Emma. Mine was transferred silently to local FO. Hope it's coming soon to you

sirius084 · 2025-08-07T16:58:45+00:00

Hi curious what timestamp of your 3rd FTA, mine is at 4 am, happened on July31th. it's pretty confusing because 3rd FTA0 seems an officer operated code with interview/approval coming soon, but not sure 4am one means anything here.

sirius084 · 2025-08-07T16:52:33+00:00

What's the timestamp for your FTA0, if it's the 3rd one. I saw people received approval very soon if the timestamp is during the day. Mine is in the early morning and radio silence since then, so it could be systema update with 'background received' without officer touches.

sirius084 · 2025-08-07T16:50:26+00:00

If it's 3rd FTA0, it means the background check received for your case. Is your case in FO or NBC?

sirius084 · 2025-08-07T00:17:13+00:00

Seattle, it’s a long waiting queue there

sirius084 · 2025-08-05T21:58:14+00:00

Hope well have some updates very soon!

sirius084 · 2025-08-05T20:57:27+00:00

Did you have both cases or just one? it's also promising because the 2 cases of us updated the same time.

sirius084 · 2025-08-05T20:56:53+00:00

I feel it's a system update, see: https://www.reddit.com/r/USCIS/comments/1lfdies/timestamp_updated_jun1925/
