Domain Transfer (stuck on step 12 of 14)

Question

I recently transferred a domain name from Google Cloud to AWS. Under Route 53 'Requests' there is a Message column under which it states, 'Finalizing the transfer to Route 53 (step 12 of 14)'..When I try to access the site I get an error 'DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN', which appears it cannot resolve the server ip address. Is this because the remaining steps need to be completed/propagated? I have a load balancer the is pointing to the new domain name, but am unable to see the site due to this issue. Thanks for the help

I'm having the same issue. The status says "Successful" but the message says "Finalizing the transfer to Route 53 (step 12 of 14)." Is it possible that this is an AWS bug?

Hello.

As far as I can see from the document below, I think that in the case of (step 12/14), the records have not been transferred completely yet.  
It may be better to wait until after (step 13/14).  
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/Route53/latest/DeveloperGuide/domain-transfer-to-route-53-status.html

You may be able to check the NS record with the following command.  
```
dig NS your-domain.com
```
