Silent update
EB-2 NIW (PD current) – Filed I-485 & I-765 on Oct 20, 2025. Biometrics done, Silent update on .
Recently got multiple silent updates on EAD (Apr 23 & Apr 25) with FTA0 events, but no change on I-485.
Has anyone had similar back-to-back updates on EAD and then got approval (EAD or GC)? How long did it take after that?

Do you have the I-140 approved?
How I can see that FTAO events?
They supposed to send the Green Card now, not the EAD.
Manifest LawApr 28, 2026
Back-to-back FTA0/silent updates on EAD often point to EAD movement, card production, or internal processing. It does not necessarily mean the I-485 will approve soon. If your priority date is current, the I-485 can move independently, but EAD approval and green card approval are separate.
If you have any other questions, feel free to ask them in our next Lawfully office hours session!
