Vawa I-360: Case Was Transferred And A New Office Has Jurisdiction
I have filed VAWA I-360 on 01/27/2021 and I-485 was pending with NBC from 04/01/2020.
On November 5, 2021, we transferred your Form I-360, Petition for Amerasian, Widow(er), or Special Immigrant.
Now case status : Case Was Transferred And A New Office Has Jurisdiction.
Case transferred from Vermont Service Center to Texas Service Center.
I-485 is also transferred from NBC to Texas Service Center.
Now both the forms are in Texas Service center.
1. Is this normal process or it will be delayed more time.
I did expedite EAD card in Oct and they processed my EAD card within 3 days and then transferred my both case into Texas. I knew Vermont will process VAWA only and then NBC will process I-485 .
2. Why both forms now in Texas ?
Any advice will be great helpful .
Thanks.....................................

sorry can’t answer any of your questions. but if it’s a spouse I’ve only ever seen cases at Vermont but if it’s special immigration or whatever else i360 has it varies from other service centers so idk

my friend got the same update. November 2020 485, vawa april 2021, case transferred to new jurisdiction. but how you got to know it moved to Texas? his receipts tell where they moved his case. matter of fact his case was with MOoffice where he originally filed 485. we can connect offline

how you expedited your EAD?
R DNov 25, 2021
Thank You for the reply. This is for my friend and she was hospitalized due to Covid-19 and she has now huge medical bill . Best of that she expedite seems. I didnt asked her actual reason though . I believed she should check her notice and wait for the approval.

I thought Vermont was the only office that can handle VAWA? Yours is a very new case so maybe they have changed the rule; do you live in TX? I have no idea why they would do that other than to help with the backlog as some of us have been waiting years for VAWA approval at Vermont.

C C you are right. only Vermont handles vawa cases. seems they routing few cases to TX to get EAD approved soon
R DNov 27, 2021
@pablo, You are right . My friend's lawyer mentioned that this is for EAD approval . Once EAD is completed they move back the cases into VT. Her I360 approval will come in somewhere around 2023 ...
