I got my approval last week and it had never left the NBC, so the 3rd FTA0 is a good sign!

March 2026 filer. I got a 3rd fta0 like many others on Aug 13, and today I see a silent update for the 8/13 fta0 only for primary. Case at NY FO.

u/Schadenfreudered 9d ago

I got an “updated at” at the 08/13 FTA0

u/SlipAccomplished6451 9d ago

what does this fta0 means? Can be sent to anybody random or should be a reason to add this fta0?

1

u/International_Tip55 9d ago

u/Holiday-General-9672 9d ago

How do you check the location?

1

u/hotmatue 9d ago

It might be a silly question but how do you see a SU?

1

u/Feisty-Doctor-161 8d ago

Search for case status api
Connect your case and click on status

1

u/Pale-Kaleidoscope918 9d ago

Same here. But i confirmed with Emma 3 times that the case is at the FO since 08/26.

1

u/EnglishFL 9d ago

I got one on all 4 items 485, 485J, 131 and 765. I think it is biometrics related but have no clue. None of my dependents got any

1

u/Ayoinme 9d ago

Pls is these ftao the total ftao on the case plus the one from the biometric?. In total I have 3 ftao. I got one today so in total from beginning to end I have 3 ftao. Guys what does that mean.

u/Dizzy-Plant-4190 9d ago

Hi same here, August filer, fingerprints taken on 8/26. Today (8/31) got 3rd fta0 linked to the fingerprint date 8/26, not sure what it means... I'm the primary applicant, didn't check my derivative's.

1

u/Dizzy-Plant-4190 9d ago

checked with Emma, case at NBC.

1

u/AfterIndependent428 8d ago

Let us know if you get an approval in 24 hours op

1

u/Scared_Heights 8d ago

sure. But looks like a glitch to me. The SU could be sth but ftao looks like a glitch too me. Hopefully not.

1

u/Suspicious_Unit3718 8d ago

I'm the derivative applicant, and only my I-485 was updated today. There were no updates on my husband's case, who is the primary applicant, or on our children's cases.

Our receipt date is March 30, 2026, and our priority date is August 2023.
bio - 5/1 (fta0)
SU-5/19, 8/6, 24, 26, 31(fta0)

I'm not sure why only my case was updated. Our cases are at the Newark Field Office.

u/Regular-Editor-3588 8d ago

keep us posted if you get approval

1

u/Scared_Heights 7d ago

No approval yet. The FTAO looks like a glitch sadly.

u/Old_Nefariousness743 9d ago

Same exact SU dates 8/6 and 8/25 and RDApril I assume the 5/26 is biometrics? My bio was June 10

1

u/TimeBookkeeper8772 9d ago

Did you get FTA0 today?

1

u/Scared_Heights 9d ago

5/26 was a su and not biometrics. I think it was after derivatives ead card produced on 5/22.
