it usually means background checks complete. could you share your timeline and which FO?

you are probably days away from approval

@Joseph Climber how many days?

Rcd date: 04/21 Bio: 05/14 Case transferred to Reno FO: 08/05 No update since then

i don’t know, but I’ve seen approvals within few days from 3rd FTA0

You will probably receive the approval in the next couple of days

@Sancho Panza I asked live agent and she said no action has been taken on ur case. And she said last update was on Aug 5th when case was transferred to FO. I asked her if an officer reviewed my case and her answer was No.

how did you know that your case have been transferred to FO ? is that something that the display on the account or you have to ask the agent and only they can tell

@s b yes agent confirmed that the case was transferred

Does anyone know what does FTA0 means?

@Believe in God case may need 1 business day to update status after FT0. agent may no have that yet. let us know next week if you get approval

@Joseph Climber I received FTA0 on thursday but didn't get approval on Friday. I will let you know if I get approval next week. Fingers crossed.

any updates@Believe in God

Nothing yet.

hey @Believe in God, what’s your block number? mine has 3 FTA0 events as well and transferred to Non Local Saint Louis FO on 8/26. block IOE 09324**

@AC M block no is 314. did you receive FTA0 at the same day when ur case was transferred to FO?

actually, that I don’t know because I asked Emma after seeing the FTA0 code. I talked to Emma on 08/29 and it mentioned that case is transferred. yours has transferred to local or non-local FO, did you ask agent if interview was waived?

@AC M mine is a non local FO. you should check with Emma when was transferred to FO and then check api to see if fta0 is for transfer or post transfer

post transfer means that, it went from nbc to FO and back from FO to Nbc? if that’s the case then what does it tell me? like interview is over / waived?

FTA0 on 8/26 for me and my family (NY Field office), 4 API updated timestamps so far, 3 on 8/29 & 1 on 9/2. no approval so far 😌

today my i-485J was approved, and emma told me that case is currently at NBC, and on 08/26 is was with Saint Louis,MO, not sure what to make of i-485j apprval, does it mean anything i-485’s approval?

mine - two FTA0 on 08-11, one FTA0 on 08/26 and today updated timestamp shows 09-04 ( i think that’s tied to i-485j’s approval)

@AC M congratulations 🎊 your 485 is approved

@AC M can you tell me your exact dates for fta0? how many fta0 you have on ur 485?

@AC M did you get fta0 or fta1?

@Ganesha ☀️☀️ did you get fta0 for transfer or post transfer? was ur application transferred to NY field office on 8/26?

@Believe in God - Transferred on 8/22 to NY FO(according to liveAgent). 3rd FTA0 on 8/26 for me and my family. no update so far 😌

@Ganesha ☀️☀️ same here. pls let us know if you get any update

sure. I will. let me know as well.

hey @Believe in God, sorry for confusion. my i-485 is not approved yet, what I mentioned that i-485J is approved.

hey @Believe in God , i have three FTA0 (8/11, 8/11, 8/26) and latest update timestamp on i-485 case is on 9/04 when i-485 J was approved.

@AC M your 485j is approved which means your 485 is also approved. it may take sometime to show on the portal. Check your documents tab, it should show approval notice. Congratulations 🎊
