Any I-485 approvals or silent updates from the IOE09361 receipt number block?

Hey everyone! I'm trying to track movement on I-485 cases with receipt numbers in the IOE09361 block. Has anyone received an approval or noticed any silent updates recently?

If you got an approval, please share:

  • 📅 Your priority date
  • 🗂️ Your category (EB1, EB2, EB3, etc.)
  • ✅ Approval date
  • 📍 Field office or NBC

And if you've been tracking via the USCIS case status API and caught any silent updates (status changes not reflected on the website or app), please share those too!

Trying to get a sense of how far along USCIS is processing this block. Thank you so much! 🙏
