All  cases are adjudicated in Vermont.After vAWA approval the petition goes to NBC and then local office.If it's showing the case is in Chicago then probably they approved your case.

I made enquiry through congressman and was told it’s still processing normally. In fact I still got a prima facie extension some weeks back. No rfe nothing since Nov 2019. @sandranj

It’s standard response for speed up,  when they transfer case .  If it says we transferred your case for speed up processing to Chicago service center, check your 360 status , maybe vawa case also transferred for speed up processing. Good luck, I think it’s good sign 

It says it was transferred for faster processing. It says transferred to nbc. But that was since march 2022. After nbc it was at my field office then it got transferred to Chicago processing center. I only got this notice on I485

Check your transferred letter what it says where was it transferred and from what address? I know applicant that their 485 case transferred to nbc without vawa approval then sent back to vsc . Make sure what is write in the notice 

It says it was transferred for faster processing. But that was since march 2022

I am a Nov 2019 filer. No rfe, 6 primafacies. There’s no decision on I360 yet. March 2022 my I485 got transferred for faster processing. September 2022 I sent a letter to Vermont but never got a response, so i contacted my congressman and got a response they’re still working on my case. 
I submitted a case inquiry online and the last 3 digits for both I360 and I485 has my city code. When it was treated, I received a letter that it’s still processing but the address on the letter was my local field office address. 
 

Then I sent an enquiry again in January on the I485, now it’s in Chicago field office because the letter response has Chicago processing center on it. I contacted Emma and chatted with a rep to know what is happening but was told it’s transferred for faster processing. The processing time in my field office is even shorter than that of the Chicago office. Is this normal? Why is my files sent from one field to another without vawa approval yet? 
@sandranj please help

what does your online status say for i-360?

Try to reach out to your congress person or senator. 

It shows case was received and receipt issued. No rfe. But I485 was transferred to nbc in March. I reached out to congressman’s office but was told it’s processing normally. Receipt dates are Nov 2019. I did enquire online but got response from my field office

Vawa file is always shipped from Vermont to NBC and then local office .

Thank you for your response. Will the files be sent before approval? My case is still pending but my i485 was already transferred from Vermont to nbc in March. Also I got response from my city’s center on the case enquiry I did on both i360 and I485. My I360 and I485 were file in Nov 2019 to Vermont.

When my I-360 was pending, my I-485 was transferred from local office to Vermont. Upon approval, it was transferred again to local office.  Of course it makes the stop at NBC during transit to go through the completeness and integrity checks.👍

Thanks for your response. I will keep waiting and hoping for a good outcome soon. I’m just confused if my applications could leave Vermont before getting I360 approval. I didn’t send medical with my application but never got a deficiency notice when the I485 was transferred to nbc from Vermont.

Hey, haven’t been here in a while so forgive any rustiness. I360 takes time just be aware of that and also they do not respond to you personally due to the nature of the petition. You are obviously still within processing time. I’ve always advised folks here since 2018 to be patient even though I know the feeling..been through it. Good thing no RFE so far maybe next update will be approval. The updates you had so far are all standard procedures nothing out of the ordinary. Hold on just a little bit longer. Your day is coming fam!👍

Thank you for the response but is it common to have I485 transferred to NBC before VAWA approval? 

On March 14 I got an update that my I485 was transferred to a new office for faster processing. Since then there’s no update. I filed I360 in November 2019, no rfe, 5 primafacies. I did case enquiry online on both I360 annd I485 and the last 3 digits end with my city. It only responded processing within normal time. 

  I sent a notarized letter to Vermont August ending as that was the outside processing time but never got a response. I submitted an enquiry with my congressman for I360 and was told it now takes over 30months and my case is processing normally. I’m asked to wait till next year for outside processing time request, 

Does anyone have similar experience? 
If you submit online enquiry for I360 does it return your city for the last 3. 
 

@sandranj @Stillwinning!!!😊 please comment

I had a 204c fraud on my i130, got a NOID on my i360 but responded with new proofs and gave them any single things they asked in the NOID except i didn’t have new photos , new notorized letters from friends and family,…3 weeks after sending my NOID response, i got approved. When you receive a NOID you have to go through it sentence by sentence and give them what they want. If they mentioned some discrepancies justify it in your personal declaration and relate the all story from how you met, dating, marriage, abuse, …. That’s what I did and it worked

What is your timeline please and when did you get approval?

Hi everyone, I have been a silent reader for a while. This thread has been very helpful and I appreciate all contributors. 
 I filed I360 in Nov 2019 then I485,I765 and advance parol March 2020. I’ve received 3PF, no RFE. On March 14, I received an update that I485 is transferred to another office and a letter will be sent. I received the same notice the following day but got only one letter stating my case has been transferred to NBC. I’ve not gotten any update on I360 no approval nor C31 yet. Then last week I submitted a service request on my I485 and it has my city code at the end. I submitted for I360 too just to see if that will have VSC at the end but it has my city at the end also. Should I be worried? What can I do? It’s been over 2 months since my I485 was transferred but nothing on vawa yet. Also I didn’t send any medical with my forms and I haven’t gotten any medical deficiency yet

@Stillwinning!!!😊 @sandranj

I got a fourth PF few days back and I also got an update on the service request which states 

“The status of this service request is:

USCIS has reviewed your service request. According to our files, your application is pending background checks. Once those pending background checks have been completed, the file will be shipped to the field office in your jurisdiction for the next steps. No further action is needed from you at this time. 

We hope this information is helpful to you and we appreciate your continued patience.”

@sandranj please what does this mean

Yes, my I485 file was transferred to NBC long before my I360 approval, see details in my signature section below. Same with some other forum members too. But you should definitely inquire as @Rhema1 said, sometimes VAWA approval update is not posted online. Do not trust USCIS to do its job. 

How do I check the signature please

this means that all your files has been transferred to your local office via NBC. 

You can just wait to see the outcome of it or you can also schedule an infopass to your local office for whatsoever reasons. While there, they will give you all the updates about the case,for they have it now under their jurisdiction. For the reason why Vermont transferred all your files there, I can't tell. Those more experimented on this thread will give you their insights. 

Can files be transferred before I360 approval?
