No update still sadly 😢

 

What do you mean by API check?

 

Log into your MyUSCIS account and then in another tab enter the following URL

https://my.uscis.gov/account/case-service/api/cases/Your IOE Number

 

Put your receipt number at the end where I put "Your IOE Number" and you will get an API readout. In there you will see a section that says "updatedAt": with a date after it. That date is usually  the last time someone at USCIS opened your case file

Interesting, thanks for explaining!

 

No update though: 

"updatedAt": "2025-08-05",

Yeah... that's where our friends are stuck... 

"updatedAt": "2025-07-29",

Best of luck to everyone. It's frustrating for sure to have to wait for so long after an interview. 

 

I have noticed though that some people get approval at exact times after an interview. 24 hours, 2 weeks, 1 month, 60 days, 100 days, etc.  At least that is what I saw on the subreddit.  Not trying to get anyone's hopes up though, just found it interesting.

We got an API update from Saturday..  "updatedAt": "2025-09-27",

 

However, we did an FOIE request out of curiosity about a week, and they gave us acknowledgment Saturday. These could be related, but I am unsure.

 

Otherwise, the only change I noticed was that the estimated time went from 30 months to 14 months. 🤣

You mean FOIA? I would have done it after approval or before filing. From what I understand, when you request FOIA, processing of your case temporarily pauses to gather all information.

We did a FOIA request for Jaycel to get her entire A-File after she got her Green card. The request was acknowledged on 08/06/2025 and we got an API Update that same day.

Yes, I meant an FOIA request. I had saw some people on reddit doing this during the processing. Oh well. I don't think it will delay anything. We only requested a small amount of information, not the entire file. To my understanding, aren't these FOIA requests handled separately anyway? I was under the impression USCIS had dedicated FOIA staff to respond to these requests.

That is interesting. Yeah, I figure the API update was related to the FOIA request.  I wonder if the estimator drops the time as a response to the API update. 🤣

I wish I had a clue to the logic and algorithm behind that portal. LOL Our friends who have been waiting on a decision since their interview on July 29th just filed a service request through the egov.yscis.gov site. We'll see if that shakes anyone's tree.

That was our thought process as well. Hopefully it will get someone to do something. 😁 Our officer told us everything was perfect and even gave us a timeline for the delivery of packet and GC in the mail. I wonder what the hang up is 🤷‍♂️ Montgomery Field Office is known for being quick. One person I know, and their family, got their naturalization approved in like 2 months. Granted, those are quicker anyway.
