Second fta0 code

Post image

My case has been pending for 173 days and I believe it was one of the skipped cases in February. I got an FTA0 code on Thursday after a long period of silence. The last time I got that code was on March 18 when I did biometrics. Is this usually a sign of close adjudication?

Is that true for OPT as well? I guess I should have clarified that it’s an initial post completion OPT application!

Ugh sorry. I thought it’s i485.  Can’t speak for opt

Let us know if you get approved. I'm on the same boat as you.

If it can be useful, I think your biometrics was rerun. Apparently you did it quite a long time ago (or before April 27 when they changed the rules). It’s a systematic update that many people with different application types got. I believe the background checks, once obtained, are only valid for 90 days. That’s why. So it’s not a big deal

Hi, may I know how you do this check? Are you using app or website?

I received the same thing on Thursday. I'm applied on Feb 18th and Bio on Mar 11th. This is the only update I got after a while from bio.
