Need assistance understanding immigration status API response

I received this JSON output related to my case status and I’m uncertain about its meaning. My biometrics appointment occurred on June 10th, and I noticed there’s a notice scheduled for that. Could someone clarify what the event codes signify? Should I attend an interview, and what are the next steps?

What does BIO1 mean and what should I expect next in the process?

Your JSON looks good - BIO1 means biometrics are processed, and “confirmedByOfficer: true” shows you’re moving along nicely.

I’ve tracked dozens of these cases, and manual checking gets old fast. You’re looking at months of waiting, and constantly refreshing USCIS is pointless.

I set up automated monitoring that checks status every few hours and alerts me when anything changes. No more manual checking or wondering if I missed something. It parses JSON responses, tracks status changes, and catches new notices.

Your case shows “responseNeeded: false” so you’re waiting. But when that flips to true or new status codes pop up, you want to know right away. Same with RFEs or interview notices.

Automation handles the repetitive API calls and parsing - you just get clean alerts when something actually matters. Way better than checking daily for months.

bio1 just means they got your biometrics - nothing fancy. Since you already went June 10th, you’re set. The “travelAuthorizationGranted: true” is interesting though - might mean you’re getting a combo card with advance parole, which is a nice bonus. MSC cases from National Benefits Center usually move faster than other service centers from what I’ve seen. Your JSON looks clean with no RFEs or red flags so far. Now it’s just the waiting game - could be anywhere from 2-6 months for the final decision.

Your JSON shows different stages of I-765 processing. BIO1 means biometrics were scheduled or completed - since you went on June 10th, that’s what this code is tracking. DOC2 usually indicates they reviewed or requested more documents. REC just confirms they received your application.

I went through this process myself. After biometrics, you’re often waiting while they conduct background checks and security screenings. This can range from weeks to months depending on your case’s complexity. The “travelAuthorizationGranted: true” suggests that advance parole might apply to your case as well.

Most I-765 applications do not require interviews unless there are complications. Keep an eye on updates, and since “responseNeeded: false” is present, you don’t need to take any action at the moment. Regularly check your case status online; the next update will likely be an approval or a request for more evidence.

Your timeline looks normal for I-765 processing. That BIO1 code is just tracking your June 10th biometrics appointment. The good news? “confirmedByOfficer: true” means an officer’s already looked at your case. You’re in the waiting phase now. Background checks usually take 2-4 months after biometrics, depending on your service center. Your MSC prefix means you’re at the National Benefits Center - they’ve been moving pretty fast lately. Since you don’t have any expedite requests or responses needed, you’re just waiting for their decision. Standard I-765 cases don’t need interviews unless they question your eligibility. Next update will probably be approval or an RFE if they want more documents. Keep checking your status - most people see movement within 60-90 days after biometrics.
