If you fill in your VJ timeline, you'll get an estimate on when your petition will be adjudicated. The caveat is it's based on only those who maintain their timelines on VJ, but it will give you a frame of reference. Also, the Dallas Lockbox is not the same as the Texas Service Center. Your petition was mailed to the lockbox where they processed the payment and then routed to the Vermont Service Center where it will be adjudicated in several months' time.

Part One: The K-1 Visa Journey:

USCIS Receipt of I-129F: January 24, 2012 | Petition Approval: June 15, 2012 (No RFEs)
Interview: October 24, 2012 - Review | Visa Delivered: October 31, 2012



Part Two: Entry and Adjusting Status:

POE: November 18, 2012 (at SFO) - Review
Wedding: December 1, 2012 | Social Security: New cards received on December 7, 2012.
AOS Package (I-485/I-765/I-131) NOA1: February 19, 2013 | Biometrics Appt.: March 18, 2013
AP/EAD Approved: April 29, 2013 | Card Received: May 6, 2013 | AOS Interview Appt.: May 16, 2013 - Approved Review Card Received: May 24, 2013

Part Three: Removal of Conditions:

Coming Soon...

My timeline is very similar - and VJ's estimate is: Based on timeline data, your I129f may be adjudicated between April 30, 2013 and May 5, 2013*. The days are always changing a little bit - plus or minus a few days. At the bottom of your timeline you should see the approximate dates for your application.
