@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.

@Raw Grace congratulations! what was the field office and do you remember the transfer date?
R
Raw Grace 3d
@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.

@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

Gentleman 2d

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

@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.
