Hi everyone, I wanted to share my timeline and see if anyone has a similar experience.
Hi everyone, I wanted to share my timeline and see if anyone has a similar experience.
• May 2, 2025 – Filed I-360 (VAWA) + I-485
• October 22, 2025 – Biometrics done
• February 23, 2026 – Requested expedite (no response yet)
• March 10–13, 2026 – Received combo card (EAD + Advance Parole)
• March 17, 2026 – My old marriage-based I-485 interview was cancelled
• March 19, 2026 – My VAWA-based I-485 was transferred to a local field office (“New Office Has Jurisdiction”)
My I-360 still shows no updates online.
Is this a normal step? Does this mean my case is moving toward approval or interview?
How long does it usually take after transfer to a local office?
Any similar experiences would really help 🙏
