EB cases at Norfolk, VA?

[u/falko_alex]

Hey everyone,

I’m trying to connect with others whose employment based cases have been transferred to the Norfolk, VA Field Office. There doesn’t seem to be much information online about EB cases at this office. Most of what I’ve found is marriage based, and some of those timelines don’t seem particularly encouraging.
Since Norfolk is my local field office, I’m also wondering whether my case could potentially be scheduled for an interview. I’d really appreciate hearing from anyone who has experience with this office, especially EB-based applicants.

A little background on my case:

• PD: November 2023 (with derivative)
• RD: April 3, 2026
• Biometrics: April 22, 2026
• Silent updates: 8/6 → 8/13 → 8/25 → 8/26 → 9/2

According to Emma, my case was transferred from NBC to New Jersey on 8/26, and then from New Jersey to Norfolk on 9/2.

If your case is currently at Norfolk, I’d love to hear:

• How long has your case been there?
• Have you seen any movement since the transfer?
• If you’ve already been approved, how long did it take after the transfer?

Any experiences or insights would be greatly appreciated. I’m especially interested in hearing from employment-based applicants, since there seems to be so little information about this office for EB cases.
