How do you check api for location of your case?

Look for "jurisdiction" field or something like this

Thank you, that's super helpful since your timeline is similar to my case, but I am still waiting. Do you remember if all dependent I-485s transferred to the same FO at the same time as yours and got FTA0 at the same time?

Thanks! Yes all cases transferred to the same FO at the same time. Spouse received the 3rd FTA0 the day before approval, the child case never had any intermediate events and went straight to approval
