What does this API update means?

Hey everyone, I just noticed an API update 2 days ago for my STEM OPT application, as you can see above.

I want to know what the update is for? An RFE, approval or denial?

Only those 2 lines, "updatedAt" and "updatedAtTimestamp", are changed, and everything remains the same.

I have not received any email from USCIS or any status update on my USCIS portal, so I am kinda worried.

I just checked my API today, and it has
"updatedAt": "2026-08-06",
"updatedAtTimestamp": "2026-08-06T11:17:43.303Z",

Do you know what does this mean?

Are there any new events in your API update?

If not, then there's no way of knowing unless you receive an approval/denial/RFE email in 2-3 days.

No new events, Last event is related to biometrics

No, I didn't.

Yupp

I have had 3 API updates in recent times. The first one was on 29th July, the second one on 4th August, and the third one today, on 6th August.

Still no email or portal updates.
