I just got approved today. Glory to God.
It has been a journey but at the end God did it for me. Thank you for the experiences shared here. It was extremely helpful. I am praying that everyone still waiting will get their approval soon.

@Reza A.Thnak you . yes I checked API. I had 2 FTAO, one after biometrics in July and another in August. It switched to FTA 1 on 08/30, again on 09/12 and 10/16. Silent updates on 10/23 and 10/28. I asked Emma about the silent update on 10/24 but they did not respond.

What are API, FTAO and FTA1, in terms of meaning, and how does one check them? why didn’t you apply for EAD? H1B?
