mine says subtype":"131A-HRIFA" this is EB1A i485. this code says Haitian Refugee Immigration Fairness Act. might be an error? any one?

yep, mine says HRIFA too, and I’m not an Haitian. Wierd. A glitch, perhaps?

following. also looking for this answer

@Gary Roh it is supposed to mean the field office that has your case and it is an indication that your case at the last stage of processing. Is WAS your local location?

I guess one thing I notice, at least for the people who commented, their timeline is in the zone for past approvals like 160+ days

@Gary Roh 160+ days since the aos forms were filed

@Gary Roh it seems it is showing local field office for many people so not sure if interview would be scheduled or not

@Gary Roh if it is indeed at a FO, then yes it is at last stage. I’d try and ask Emma or call USCIS to confirm

@Gary Roh that confirms that it is defaulting to local field office. But the fact that it’s present validates your file has moved to FO.

@Gary Roh I think we can affirm that this api change is for those that actually had their cases transferred. API is defaulting to local FO but case has moved to final stages and that’s the biggest takeaway. this is not a universal update since we have No in poll. That means those that did move were likely part of a batch transfer.

@Gary Roh How did you phrase your question to get Emma agent to say field office instead of typical National Benefits Center response?

@Gary Roh Thanks!

@amdsk a @Gary Roh my location api gives null today

@amdsk a I’m seeing null today

i am also seeing null today

@M I @Gary Roh @Alexandra Chronopoulou Yeah it appears this was nothing more than a false alarm. USCIS system update causing confusion.
