This progress report is provided to give you a “snapshot” of the Dallas District adjudications program. Personnel restraints preclude us from answering inquiries that are not within these time frames

We are currently accepting inquiries on naturalization cases and adjustment of status filed BEFORE January 31, 2002.

PLEASE DO NOT INQUIRE ON ANY CASES OUTSIDE THE INQUIRY CUT-OFF DATES, REGARDLESS OF WHAT STAGE THE CASE IS IN TO ALLOW US TO COMPLETE OUR OLDEST CASES FIRST. We will reject any inquiry submitted outside the timeframes indicated in the column marked “Cut-off date for inquiries”. We thank you for your continued support.
