@Raw Grace congratulations..when was your 3rd FTA0?
R
Raw Grace Feb 4, 2026
@PD Jan 2024 It was on February 3, thus yesterday.
R
Raw Grace Feb 4, 2026
@P I It means an officer has touched your application. I am told a third one shows you are very close to approval.

Congratulations. What time did you get the approval (ET, CT, or PT)? I'm asking because I need to know whether I should stop checking after 5:00 PM, for my sanity.

Mattew AFeb 4, 2026
@Raw Grace, please, are you from any of the 75+ suspended countries?

Raw Grace Feb 4, 2026
@Mattew A Yes, but not the 39. They are two different things.

@Raw Grace congratulations! what was the field office and do you remember the transfer date?
R
Raw Grace Feb 4, 2026
@waiting anxiously I was told by Emma that it was transferred to Sacramento. I realized there was the first silent update on Dec 23 so I am sure that was when it was transferred from NBC to Sacramento.

R
Raw Grace Feb 5, 2026
@Elizabeth A Thanks. Amen!
R
Raw Grace Feb 5, 2026
@Elizabeth A If your receipt number has the IOE prefix, you shd be able to use the api approach to check for any updates with your case. I am sure you can learn that on reddit
Adegoke MufutauFeb 5, 2026
Congratulation @Raw Grace can you tell me your country?
Gentleman Feb 5, 2026
I think @Raw Grace is from Ghana but I could be wrong.
Adegoke MufutauFeb 6, 2026
Thank you. @Raw Grace are you from Ghana ?

Moefefezi LekkiriteFeb 7, 2026
congratulations @Raw Grace please help us in providing information that will also give everyone clarity and know what to think about their case. your country and what the approval was for. I submitted my I-485 in September and biometrics in October. And when I asked Emma I was told my case has been moved to LA field office on 23rd December, haven’t heard anything since then. I am from one of the 75 countries- Nigeria
R
Raw Grace Feb 7, 2026
@Adegoke Mufutau @Gentleman @Fefezi Lekkite I am from one of the 75 countries but NOT from the 39 countries. I do not know what information else you want me to share here. On Dec 23, I saw a silent update on my case and I contacted Emma. Emma told me my case was transferred to Sacramento. On February 3, I saw another silent update. On February 4, there was another silent update and then immediately the third FTAO. Then came the H008 which was the approval.

congrats! I had a quick question, how did you get the biometrics and photo taken status on your timeline? I completed mine upon my scheduled date, but I don’t see it up under my timeline.. so I’m not sure if things were processed properly
