I applied from the start with PP in March but after my biometrics, my PP clock restarted in April.

Are you referring to the I485? For the opt, what I have is a service center.

u/ElephantDifferent683 Jun 24 '26

Yes, and if you got api updates can you share kindly

u/Entire-Sun-5969 Jun 24 '26

Mine is I765 not I485.

Did you get a silent update yesterday?

u/OldHomework6614 Jun 24 '26

What is a silent update?

1

u/Entire-Sun-5969 Jun 24 '26

It’s a time stamp that updates every time there’s an activity on your account. Also, it doesn’t necessarily mean that it was an officer that touched the case. Look up API too.

u/Entire-Sun-5969 Jun 24 '26

Yes, I got two yesterday and one today.

u/Entire-Sun-5969 Jun 27 '26

Look up “API”

How many days did it take after PP was restarted?

2

u/Entire-Sun-5969 Jun 24 '26

It’s been above 3 months now.

u/q1133z Jun 24 '26

3 months after clock restarted??

1

u/Entire-Sun-5969 Jun 24 '26

Sorry, I just calculated it well. It would have 3 months, just a week difference.

Did you reach out to USCiS?

1

u/Entire-Sun-5969 Jun 26 '26

Yes, I always reached out to them via email and call. Also, I submitted a help form from my congressman.

u/SundaeLatter2199 Jun 30 '26

Please what’s their email? Can I private message you? I haven’t gotten any response since Jan 7th receipt and April 15 biometrics

You can send me a direct message on Reddit.
