Frequently asked questions

How many green card applications are pending at Texas Service Center?

13,250 I-485 applications were pending at the end of Apr–Jun 2026; the office completed about 63 a month (backlog estimate 209 months, national 30 months).

Which cases does the Texas Service Center handle?

Service centers process petitions and applications that are filed by mail or online, without an interview; USCIS moves work between centers to balance workloads, so the center on your receipt notice depends on the form and the filing address on the form's "Where to file" page, not only on where you live. Interviews (for example most I-485 and all N-400 cases) take place at a field office. Your receipt number prefix shows the center: WAC = California, LIN = Nebraska, SRC = Texas, EAC = Vermont, YSC = Potomac, MSC/NBC = National Benefits Center, IOE = USCIS online filing.
