any dallas AOS filers ? still waiting for interview date . filed in august 6 receive my EAD on hand october 2 and case moved to testing and interview in oct 15 . my case been process in nebraska please any idea for how long i will get my interview notice

Hi bosstx,

I am a Dallas filer. I don't have very good news for you. Dallas is extremely backed up right now. If you look at previous months, people who filed in February and March 2013 are just now getting their interviews in October and November 2013. There is a eight month delay, so, unless Dallas gets their stuff in order, you are probably looking at interview sometime in March/April 2014. Sorry to be the bearer of the bad news.

When I was at the Dallas field office this month for my interview, they told me that they've been hiring new officers to help with the backlog. Hopefully that addresses the backlog situation.

My case got expedited for military reasons. If you are a military family and if your spouse is deployed, I suggest pursuing an expedite through the military hotline.

Best wishes to you.

Welcome here! Someone actually started a thread for Dallas filers. Unfortunately there was not a lot of responses, but I think you can get an idea and maybe post your timeline on there too for others: http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/515180-dallas-aos-filerstimelines-2013-2014/ Also you can find other members filing at Dallas by clicking on the "Dallas TX" link under "local office" on your post.

No one can give you an accurate time frame for when you will receive your interview notice. Some was in "Testing and Interview" for a few days before receiving their interview notice, others were in that stage for months before getting an interview. You can get an idea though by looking at other Dallas filers' time lines. Good luck with the waiting!

thanks for the info pickle !

Little udpdate: my EAD is pending for more than 75 days (with no RFE and stuff) so I can create what hey call an Approaching Regulatory Timeframe “service request”, because it is getting close to the 90 days that they have as a limit to issue it.

First time ever calling the service center..... terrible.... I mean, I know that I don't speak English perfectly but at least I don't work on a call center...the operator that helped me had the worst accent ever. Terrible to understand her. But whatever, now I created this request and I'll hopefully hear from USCIS soon

And the waiting continues. Hope you get good news soon, let us know. I guess I will be calling soon as well. I made that call with my previous EAD, and it was not a pleasant experience. I was hoping I can avoid it this time.
