Case moved to NYC field office
My case has been moved to NYC field office(non-local) in Jul.28th 2026 and till today (Oct.3 2026) I still have not heard back any updates since the 04.24 biometrics record. Do you see NYC field office a longer processing agent in general? What shall I expect?

lawfully update
Just staring this month and I realized lawfully now doesn't show the monthly grow for cases that we could see if this month the cases are being going ahead or just stuck. Now you have to pay for it.
it's not a complaint. just wanna to know if it was normal before or just my account with the amount of time I have it that had this change.

Timeline
I have a question for anyone with a 2022 VAWA case. Last year I saw a lot of people with October and November 2022 filing dates saying their cases were approved. But recently, I’m seeing many people from the same months saying they are still waiting.
If you filed in 2022, especially October or November, can you please share your filing date and whether your case is still pending or approved? It would help us understand where USCIS is currently with 2022 cases. Thank you!
