VAWA transferred to NBC after 4+ years — anyone with a similar timeline? Post
I’m wondering if anyone with a VAWA case has been in a similar situation or can share what happened after their case was transferred to NBC.
My timeline:
**I-485 filed:** June 8, 2021
**I-360 VAWA filed:** February 9, 2022
**RFE response received by USCIS:** April 8, 2026 (Also sent Medicals along with RFE response)
I have also had multiple congressional inquiries and follow-ups due to the long processing time.
Recently, my congresswoman’s office was told by Vermont that my **I-360 had been transferred to NBC on June 30th.** were told the transfer was related to an **interview requirement**, but NBC has not provided any further information or interview date yet.
It has now been roughly **5–6 weeks since the transfer**, and neither my I-360 nor I-485 online case status shows any update reflecting the transfer or interview.
Has anyone with a VAWA I-360/I-485 experienced something similar?
Especially curious how long after an NBC transfer you received an interview notice or other movement, and whether your online status ever showed the transfer.
Any recent VAWA timelines would be appreciated.
