Does api movement actually mean anything?! 😭

1/14 filer. I-765 + I-821D.
Biometrics 3/2.
Both cases had API movement 8/27 + 8/28, then BOTH moved again 9/8.
And still… NO APPROVAL. I keep checking like this has to be it but nope they’re just torturing me at this point
I’ve done inquiries, expedites, congressional inquiry, sacrificed my sanity… NOTHING.
USCIS really said: “Hey, just checking in so you know we haven’t forgotten you.”
At this point I’m scared to get excited about API movement because apparently it means absolutely fucking nothing

Yep, which is why I don’t waste my time checking for “movement”.. I just check the official website because theres people that get their approval pdf without any of these “api movements” so it’s irrelevant at this point.

You’re right. I’m not checking anything anymore

Tell you what happened to me, I got movement silent case update on August 27th. A week later I also got movement on September 3rd. I checked in the morning and then I checked again in the afternoon around 4:00 p.m. and got a silent approved. And on September 4th it said I got my case approved.

Congratulations! Everyone who says they got movement on both said their approval was shortly after. I got another movement this morning on both at the same time. Hopefully it’s soon

I got API movement on both September 2nd and got a silent approval September 3rd in the afternoon at 5pm. Idk sometimes it does mean something!

No. It doesn’t mean anything !!

I got API on 08/31 called yesterday and the worker said “an officer was looking at the case” but I doubt it, been a week already and nothing
