Russia's Federal Security Service (FSB) informed Karelina's family about the update, the ballerina's boyfriend, Christopher Van Heerden told Fox News on Thursday.
While "in transit" is not a confirmation that Karelina is being released, it could mean Russia is moving her to a prison closer to Moscow, which is normally a precursor to release.
The news came during what Van Heerden described as an unusual nine-day gap in communication between Karelina and her mom, who had typically spoken on the phone every day since her incarceration.
"Movement is happening as we speak," Van Heerden said.
