please don’t put too much hope on that because mine has been from 210 to 5 and has been that way for 3 years extra so don’t worry about all that

The Lawfully rankings are estimations and can fluctuate based on various factors. Approval timelines for an I-485 after a VAWA I-360 varies widely, but typical processing can take several months to over a year.
Key factors influencing timelines include:
- Caseload at the processing center (in your case, Vermont).
- Any additional background checks or administrative processes.
- Changes in immigration policy or priorities.
Since your I-485 was received in May 2025 and you completed biometrics in September 2025, it's not uncommon for cases to take significant time beyond that.
For the most accurate updates on your case status, regularly check the USCIS website or contact an immigration attorney for tailored advice.
