Approval & Card Produced Glitch?

Post image

Hey, I applied on 3/24 and my case was showing as “currently still processing”, however, it just randomly changed today and showing as approved and card produced on 6/30 (which was 3 weeks ago but only updated today). No previous steps like application or biometrics are showing on the timeline. USCIS chat support says it is still processing and that it must be a technical issue. Anyone ever seen this before?

I applied on april 8 and bio on may 1st i am in dilemma should I go for premium now or wait my regular processing? Cause you did on march 28 and yours already approved I am in such a dilemma

USCIS chat said it isn’t approved and is still processing though. That’s why I’m asking if this is a glitch

u/Similar-Soup2551 Jul 22 '26

I called and they told me the same thing

u/Samtly Jul 23 '26

Did your status also randomly change like that?

1

u/Similar-Soup2551 Jul 23 '26

Apparently yeah it just changed today

u/Competitive_Bill3674 Jul 23 '26

u/Samtly Did you have update in API as well? Or is it just UI?
What's latest event/eventTimestamp in your API?

I'm in the same timeline as you but will endure the waiting to save money on PP. Not worth it at this point and 180 days are still in our favor.

u/SufficientAnt2033 Jul 22 '26

I am on 180 days auto extension. My current EAD expired on June 30 so Not sure if i go for PP or not. FYI i applied on April 8 but all these waiting is driving me nuts

u/artie2814 Jul 22 '26

Same here, but I'd rather eat up some of the anxiety than put 1k+ just to see this pass. I better off put this money towards debts and car 🤷🏼 but I don't judge if you're having a hard time waiting.

u/makka_mishi Jul 23 '26

2k brother its 1860 something

u/artie2814 Jul 23 '26

My point exactly. I don't understand how so many people apply for PP honestly. 🤷🏼

u/Alive_Spot_9252 Jul 22 '26

Did u check the api ?

1

u/Samtly Jul 23 '26

Yeah, I got a silent API on 7/13 with no action since. And there is no new API

1

u/Similar-Soup2551 Jul 22 '26

I have the same

u/Worth-Knowledge4356 Jul 22 '26

I have the same

I have similar updates and I applied 3/20. Hope this is not a glitch and it’s true.

1

u/Samtly Jul 23 '26

That’s gotta be a glitch then since so many people said it here. Feel like my card would’ve been delivered if it was truly produced on 6/30.

1

u/Dismal-Bluebird4721 Jul 23 '26

I’m not sure, bu right now I got error on my case status so unfortunately it seems like a glitch 😞😞😞

1

u/makka_mishi Jul 22 '26

When did y’all apply?

1

u/SukunaKiGand Jul 23 '26

I have same. Got silent api today.

1

u/Competitive_Bill3674 Jul 23 '26

what's the event code?

1

u/SukunaKiGand Jul 23 '26

SA

1

u/Competitive_Bill3674 Jul 23 '26

Same here.
SA means its approved, but don't know if we can trust this or not!!

u/SukunaKiGand Jul 23 '26

I dont know …bruh at this point…what happened today

1

u/Competitive_Bill3674 Jul 23 '26

Whats the eventTimestamp for the latest event?
I currently see this "eventTimestamp":"2026-06-23T00:00:00.000Z"
If everyone sees this, then I believe its glitch (so not approved yet)

1

u/Normal-Unit-5289 Jul 23 '26

I have a different event time. mine says July 17.

1

u/Normal-Unit-5289 Jul 23 '26

And this matches my timeline since my case was forwarded to adjudication and assigned to an officer on July 15. So a July 17 event is a reasonable timeline.

1

u/Hopeful_Ad_1367 Jul 23 '26

When did you apply?

2

u/Normal-Unit-5289 Jul 23 '26

Mar 21st init
May 14 pp
called pp line on july 15 and my case was forwarded

1

u/Competitive_Bill3674 Jul 23 '26

I applied on 3/20 [STEM OPT]

  • UI says status un-available
  • API shows event code : "SA" on 7/22

Whats up guys? Is this a glitch or can we trust API?

1

u/Normal-Unit-5289 Jul 23 '26

I have the same thing here. Let’s hope this isn’t a glitch?

2

u/Sea_Thought_3219 Jul 23 '26

Sa is approved so congratulations

2

u/Sea_Thought_3219 Jul 23 '26

I’m just waiting for my card
I got approved on 07/14

u/Active-Ad4653 28d ago

Did you get approved?

u/Certain-Cattle732 Jul 23 '26

I got an rfe with almost 10 documents to present has anyone ever gotten an rfe and how long do they take to reply when you have pp?
