Hi everyone,
Is anyone here waiting for their I-485 approval from the Portland, Maine Field Office?

My EB2 NIW I-485 was filed in April 2026, PD Nov 2024, and my case has been at the Portland Field Office since June 10. My interview is waived, but there has been no update since then except one Mass FTAO in August.

I’m trying to understand how quickly this field office is processing cases.

Has anyone recently received an approval from Portland, Maine? If so, could you share your filing date, transfer date, and approval timeline?

Has anyone seen this before? Today (Aug 13), I got a new/3rd FTA0 on my I-485, but interestingly my pending I-765 also got a new FTA0 at almost the exact same time (timestamps are only milliseconds apart). Both new FTA0s point back to my May 22 biometrics date.

For those who track these API updates: did anyone have the same thing happen on both I-485 and I-765 simultaneously? Was it followed by silent updates/approval, or was it just a system refresh?

April 2026 filer – one Silent updates each on both I-485 and I-765

I’m an April 2026 filer and completed biometrics in May. And got two updates immediately after .

My USCIS API shows a June 10 updatedAt on my I-485 and a July 14 updatedAt on my I-765, but there are no other change on api.

Would you consider these silent updates mean anything?

If you had similar silent updates, did they eventually lead to your EAD approval or green card? I’d appreciate hearing your experience.
