I've already filled out the paperwork for removing conditions (I-751 ROC) even though we cannot submit it for 2 years less 90 days. I have the N-400 Naturalization ready to complete 3 years in advance, and I started it yesterday. 

 

I even know these forms expire but I can't help it. Is there a mental health section to these forums? Do I need professional help?

Hello Everyone, congrats to those getting their green card interview and approvals. However, I’d like to know if there are any April 2018 I-485 filers going through Dallas office that has either been scheduled or already had their green card interviews. My I-485 recieved date is April 26, case ready to be scheduled for interview June 12 and nothing since then, it’s roughly 10 months now. Any info please and thanks

Hello, our timeline is very similar. My received date is April 24, case ready to be scheduled since June 26. 

Dallas is really backlogged. I know two people that had their interview last week of January and they both filed June/July 2017, so we still have a long wait time. Probably Oct/Nov/Dec if we’re lucky. All the best!

Looks like Dallas is second slowest, Houston being the worst.

This is really sad news for me. Thanks for the update. We started this application at an address served by Fort Smith only to end up at Dallas because we moved to TX by the time for AOS. if I had this information we would have stuck with the Arkansas address. It’s difficult to get a professional job offer with the one year EAD. I’m just so tired and perplexed by all this. I don’t understand why they can’t share the workload and balance it out across different centres to remove the high variation in processing times, it’s so unfair.

Honestly, I’m tired of this process. The system is just very poorly designed.

Feel the same. It is actually extremely unfair. It is a federal thing but they did it by your area. Some people get in 3 months, while some people wait over a year. I have waited 10 months now. Nothing. This place is a small place, not many applicants but so slow. Unbearable. 

 

Honestly, I wish we can sue uscis. I think DHS got sued because of H1 work visa or work green card, and now employment immigration is working faster than family based. It is disgusting.

Here you can see specific cases, I filtered it for Dallas. Looks like they are mostly on July and August 2017 filers. But some people get lucky. That would annoy me, hope you get it soon.

They make so much money from immigration and can't be bothered to deal with variation in the processing times. In this tech age, I wonder what kind of improvements their IT department are working on. They send you to a website that gives auto-feedback every month if there's no update on your case, when it's obvious the most important issue is the highly unreasonable variation in processing times. what would it really cost them to spread the workload?

Yeah. Honestly there is nothing we can do though. I wish I can sue them to make them do something. It is ridiculous. And extremely unfair.

It's hard because I get stuck at the green card issue with job offers after going through interview stages and trying hard to get a promising offer. EAD is mostly useful for menial jobs. Thanks again for the attention.

Hey guys. Our AOS interview is this Thursday!

 

Just wondering about how long our medical is valid for? My husband did it last February.

Congratulations. It should still be valid. If it isn't, they will ask you to turn in another copy before they finalise your case. They will approve you, but hang on to it till you turn in the paperwork.
