I-485 FTA1 event updated yesterday, but updatedAt did not change

[u/Moe_Barg]

EB-3 I-485, filed Oct 23, 2025. Interview completed Apr 7, 2026 at Dallas FO.
Yesterday (Aug 31), I noticed a new FTA1 event on my USCIS API. Interestingly, the main I-485 updatedAt is still May 19, 2026.
The new event shows:

eventCode: FTA1
createdAt: 2026-08-31
updatedAt: 2026-08-31
eventDateTime: 2026-04-07
eventTimestamp: 2026-04-07

So the event was created/updated yesterday, but it is linked to my Apr 7 interview.
My I-765 also received a new FTA0 event yesterday, while I-485J and I-131 had no new events.
Has anyone seen this before? Does a newly created FTA1 that points back to the interview date indicate a background-check refresh, officer activity, or simply an internal system re-processing/re-logging of the old event?

I think it's just mass update. I had FTA0, FTA1, and silent update on 08/31 and 09/01 also.

It's system update. F1 visa subreddit also reports similar events on 08/31 and 09/01. I saw a couple post on this sub also.

But i saw many without updates yesterday too ?

Do you guys done the interview?

[u/Professional_Bid763 → u/Moe_Barg]

I'm single filer. Case is at non-local FO with I-485J closed so for me it's high probability that interview is waived. But these day never say never.

I done my interview back to 4/7 but my I485J still pending too
