The Vermont Service Center (VSC) has indicated that approximately 10,000 employment-based Adjustment of Status (I-485) "green card" cases have been transferred back to them from the New York District Office. These cases were initially moved to the New York District Office for interviews. They have now been returned to VSC, however, to determine if any of the cases can be decided without an interview.

Separately, another 7,000 Adjustment of Status cases also have been sent back to the VSC from the Washington D.C. District Office. Potentially, many of these cases will be decided at the VSC without interviews. Upon further review at the VSC, some will still need to undergo in-person interviews, however. They will again be bounced back to the appropriate district office.

A very small number of the affected cases received an erroneous notice indicating that the U.S. Department of State (DOS) transferred these cases back to the VSC. These cases do not involve the DOS. If a person with a case that had been transferred to the New York or Washington D.C. District Office receives a notice regarding a transfer from DOS, they may disregard the notice.
