[blahblahblog 36]

Join this thread if you're a Houston filer and let us know when you applied and if you had your interview scheduled. I filed in June and haven't heard anything yet (got the EAD/AP already).

Hey guys,

I filed on july27th no news yet for an interview this wait is driving me crazy. If the folks that filed in June are still waiting then i guess i might just hope to hear something by march 2016.

I also read somwhere on on a different site, a guy that filed on june 10th in houston got called for an interview for Dec 10th so you guys might be closer than you think

As of Sept 30 they are working on applications dated March 23rd. However it looks like in the period from April-Sept they received 3,148 additional applications and only processed 2,442 putting them a further 706 applications behind. Given that they complete around 800 a month - we should expect another month delay - 7 months.

Hi,

We filed 11/3/15. I received the biometrics appointment for 12/10. Can any of you tell me of the place where you went was able to let you get it done before the appointment date? I know some people have been able to do that at other locations.

its really sad to know that a couple people that filed in April have still not gotten an interview date just when i thought that June filers were getting interviews... Houston is just sad at this point...smh

Yeah,

I know a guy with PD April 30 (means USCIS received your application) have not got scheduled yet? They cancelled his interview. And all May filers are waiting, I won't look into june filers because May is on first line.

I called USCIS and they said HOuston is working on June 19th but May filers don't even hear an update. In my conclusions, Houston is trying to hold all AOS through Jan 2016. Right now they are ready for the biggest holiday of the year and do not have time for our application. My best advice is just to take your good holidays and don't think about AOS in this year 2015.

That's what I am doing! FYI - When I entered IAH with AP last week the officer told me I was approved pending interview. They must be short interview spots with the holiday.

Henry,

You adjust from K-1 or another visa? I heard some people adjust from K1 and got a quick approval!

B1 - I don't think K-1 are dependent on the local office (In our case Houston) as most of them get an interview waver. Although the interview waver process seems to take some time.

Yup,

Most K-1 gonna get waiver, before they took awhile for approval but now it's very quick. About B-1 and F-1 for sure we have to pass our interview at Houston. Good luck to you! Hope they are speeding up after a big holiday.

We filed in June 19th. Didn't hear a thing since I got EAD/AP.

Man wish it's faster. but at least it is much faster than Dallas.

Don't trust their timeframe, it does not mean your case will be processed when your PD beyond the point.

I have sent an email to Houston office to ask about why many cases are outside of the currently time frame, hope they will look into this for everyone from May and June.
