A primary applicant with spouse and child filed concurrent I-485s under EB-2 PERM ROW in November 2025. After transfer to Hartford Field Office in January 2026, all four family cases (including I-485J) received simultaneous backend timestamp updates within 1.3 seconds on April 10, 2026. No new event codes or notices have appeared yet, but the synchronized batch update is considered a strong approval signal.
EB-2 PERM ROW concurrent filing for a family of three (primary + spouse + child). Filed November 2025, biometrics completed December 2025, interview waived. Cases transferred to Hartford Field Office in January 2026. Derivative combo EAD/AP cards were approved and delivered in March 2026.
Notable activity pattern leading up to the update:
- April 1: All 4 primary cases batch updated simultaneously (backend timestamps only)
- April 6: New FTA0 event on primary and spouse I-485 within 2 seconds; dependent I-485 got IAF event simultaneously
- April 7: Two silent updates on primary I-485 only
- April 10: All four cases (dependent I-485, spouse I-485, primary I-485, primary I-485J) updated within 1.3 seconds of each other at 13:24 UTC
No new event codes or notices posted. Portal shows no visible changes yet.

Synchronized sub-second batch updates across all family members' I-485 cases are a well-documented pattern immediately preceding approval card production. The sequence here — FTA0 event, silent primary-only updates, then a family-wide simultaneous timestamp flush — closely matches pre-approval workflows observed at field offices. Hartford FO has shown relatively fast movement for concurrent filers in early 2026. ROW EB-2 filers with concurrent filings in late 2025 can expect approval card notices to appear in the USCIS portal within days of this type of synchronized batch activity. The I-485J updating in the same batch confirms the derivative beneficiary is being processed in lockstep.
