I am more worry now than ever before. It is being 10 months that I filed my I-485 in the Dallas Office and still didn't from USCIS. Is anyone in the same situation? It looks like am the only one in this December 2014 filers' threat to haven't heard from USCIS.

:shocked::huh2::halloween:

You aren't. 12/24/2014 here. Still waiting, starting to get close to drivers license expiration (The law in Virginia is one year from AOS, no renewals) and needing to renew the EAD/AP. But then, my wife and I have really only been reading this forum.

What's really bothering us, is that the people who have required interviews (people adjusting from other visa types, and not K-1) seem to get through the process way faster than we do.
