2-3 months from filing AOS with a Texas address (especially Houston and Dallas), and most people in VJ have not received their biometrics appointment notice (therefore not their EAD and GC). It is very frustrating! In my case, (my address is in Houston, entered with a K1 visa) I filed 2 months ago and have not received biometrics appointment notice, AP, EAD, nor GC. Even my AP and EAD are still not uploaded in the USCIS system (cannot check case status). Anyone with an address in Texas having similar problems?

when I tracked online, it says: Your case is being processed at our NATIONAL BENEFITS CENTER location. You will be notified by mail when a decision is made, or if the office needs something from you. If you move while this case is pending, please use our Change of Address online tool to update your case with your new address or call our customer service center at 1-800-375-5283.

You should make an infopass or contact a congressman. I received my biometrics letter 22 days after i received the NOA1s.

Thanks for the advice. I already did both about two weeks ago, and so far it hasn't helped. From looking at the journey from some AOS filers from Texas they have filed more than 90-100 days ago, and they haven't received bio appointment notice, nor EAD, nor GC. Although they did receive their AP after 50-60 days after filing. I haven't received AP nor any of the others, and more than 60 days have passed!

You should call 1-800-375-5283. Did you also file for AP and/or EAD?
