vawa and 485 transfer
I’ve had a pending VAWA case for 5 years now, and both my VAWA and I-485 were transferred on the same day. I got an mail saying they were transferred to NBC MO. I’m just wondering what the most likely next update is. For those whose cases were transferred to NBC, what happened next in your case? Did you get an approval, an interview, an RFE, or something else? I’d really appreciate it if you could share your timeline or experience. Thanks!

Hi! I have a question because your timeline caught my attention. Do you know why both your VAWA and I-485 were transferred to the National Benefits Center? I was under the impression that the NBC mainly handles adjustment of status (I-485) cases, so I was curious about why the VAWA was transferred as well. Also, during these 5 years, have you been receiving a work permit (EAD)? If so, was it under the C09 category the whole time, or have you ever received a C31 EAD? Have you also had Advance Parole? I’m asking because I’m trying to better understand timelines and how cases like yours are being processed. Thank you!

@Raj Maheta was your vawa transferred before approval? was your 485 transferred too?
C DJul 8, 2026
@Eli Gonzalez I don’t know why both were transferred. people are saying possible combo interview for 360 and 485 coming soon, which I’ll be happy about. I’ve had 2 ead, one for 2 years, another for 5 years.

Probably a combo interview at your field office.NBC coordinates with Vermont Center to facilitate interviews.This is my personal opinion though,but wait for the transfer notice and see what it says.

@God in Action @Raj Maheta what about if we submit rfe Medical’s to nbc for i485 which was transfered before vawa approval

@God in Action transfer notice says it was transferred to speed up the process

when they approved my vawa I 360 they moved my case to MO and then back to NBC for the I 485 they send the green card from there without interview request
C DJul 9, 2026
thanks, so they transferred your vawa first to MO and later approved once it was in MO?! @Fernando Agudelo

@Raj Maheta when they aprove your vawa ? and you said your I-360 got transfer or not before approve

Fernando AgudeloJul 10, 2026
@C D they approved the I 485 from NBC so I think they processed the medical form in MO and sent the case again to NBC
