API update and estimated process time increase
EB1-C case filed in April 2025, biometrics done in May, AP and EAD approved in June (premium processing, concurrent filing).
Case is silent since May without any update (over 200 days). Last week there was a silent API update, and estimated process time changed from 4 months to 7 months.
Not sure how to interpret this. Normally, a silent API update is interpreted as a positive sign that someone is working on the case. I also noticed 3 similar cases filed on the same month were approved today, which is also a positive sign.
But the increase in the estimated processing time seems a contradictory signal. Any idea what does it mean?

Thank you! the update was between 9-4. I just chatted with Emma, they say the case was transferred to a field office. I’m taking it as a good sign and crossing my fingers.
