Anyone Experienced Multiple Silent Updates After I-485 Interview?

Hi everyone, I applied for Adjustment of Status based on EB1 in July 2025 and already completed my interview at April. Has anyone experienced silent updates after the interview? In my case, I had FTA1 after the interview, followed by 3 silent accesses with no visible changes in the case status. Has anyone ever had a similar timeline, and what was the subsequent outcome (approval, RFE, additional review, etc.)? Thank you!

waiting longgg time 🙄🙄🫣🫣

PD: 10/05/2021. Everything completed, currently waiting for final decision. Had my interview at the Brooklyn office in Nov 2024,they asked me Medical and 485J, it’s also approved 2025/01/01 since then my case status has been “CRP.” Became current on March 1st, sent a service request on March 23rd, now received notice that on May 5th my case was transferred to the Indianapolis FO and is still under review. They said they’ll notify me once a final decision is made. Does anyone have experience with the Indianapolis office? How fast are they moving?
