My 2 daughters and I had our Dallas Infopass Appointment last November 27, 2006 scheduled 11:15 am at 3010 NORTH STEMMONS FREEWAY, Dallas, TX 75247. We arrived at around 10:45 am and showed our INFOPASS Appointment letter to the guard. After security checks, he told us to proceed to the window (line-up) to submit our appointment letter (one appointment letter for 3 applicants: 1 K1 and 2 K2's) . We were told to take our seats and wait for our names to be called. There were many applicants.
At around 12 noon, they called us (same window). We paid the fees. John paid in cashier's check: 3 cashier's check ( 1 check for each applicant... $395 for me....$395 for my 20 year old daughter and $225 for my 9 year old daughter. The $395 includes the $70 biometrics fee). The cashier's check was made payable to USCIS (this is also specified in your appointment letter...payable to USCIS: correct fees in the form of a cashier's check or money order). They then asked our documents after we paid. We were told to again go back to our seats. They will check if all our documents are complete and if we can be accepted to the DORA program.
At 12:30 pm, we were again called and we were given our Congratulations letter (that we were accepted into the Dallas District I-485 Pilot Program). And the lady told us to wait for our interview scheduled at 1:15 pm.
We were called at around 1:45 pm. The nice lady immigration officer ushered us into her office. The 4 of us (John, 2 daughters and me) were sworn into oath. Then she started with the interview: how did both of you meet? When did you meet and where? It was not stressful. She made us feel comfortable. She asked for birthdates...she asked for mine...asked my daughters theirs...she asked John his...she asked for our home address...each of us...she asked for our contact numbers.
She said that the problem we have now is just my 20 year old daughter who will be age-ing out in January...and this is because there might be a delay in FBI name checks and she might not make it....but other than that we are fine because our documents are perfect. I put in our application cover letter: REQUEST FOR EXPEDITIOUS HANDLING: K2 AGE-ING OUT AND WITH PERMANENT PROTECTION ORDER (we have a permanent court order against my ex-husband relative to Phililppine Republic Act 9262: Anti-Violence Against Women and Their Children Act of 2004). She asked us if we are religious...and we told her yes...and she said...please do pray. I mentioned the Protection Order. She said that she did read that..and that's the reason why it took so long for us to be called for the interview because she read every detail of it. She also prays that the FBI name check will expedite. We told her that if my daughter will have to go back to the Philippines, her safety from her biological father is not assured and this worries us. She said to pray for the expedition. She then explained to my 9 year old that we will have our biometrics taken but hers (my 9 year old) will be different from her mother's and sister's...instead of the 10 fingers, she will only have her forefinger to be scanned.
She then explained to me (and John) that after we receive our green cards (kids and me), our next step will be to apply to remove the conditions on the permanent residency since we applied for adjustment of status less than 2 years of marriage. She asked us if we have any other questions. We just asked if our biometrics will be done in the same office. She said that it would be in a different Immigration Office. We couldn't think of any other thing to ask that time. Actually our interview lasted for around 15 minutes.

It went very smoothly. Our appointment was at 7:45am, but we didn't get in to see someone till about 10:45a. The appointment went about 15 minutes. SHe just asked us some basic questions, how we met, when we were married, looked through all our paper work. We chatted and she was very personable. It was a good experience

DORA Pilot Program [On K3 Visa]: Interview was for about 15 minutes. Basic questions and detailed document review. We were told that DORA does not allow for people to file an EAD concurrently. If, however, at the end of 70 days, you receive letter stating a delay of AOS approval and an appointment date, you could walk-in with an EAD application and have it approved on-site and walk-out with an EAD card on the date of this appointment.

We are currently going through the DORA program in Dallas, Texas.
We were advised to not waste the money filing for EAD and AP since the goal of this program is to complete the cases within 90 days.
Other than it taking longer than the stated 90 days, our AOS experience has been excellent.
Our AOS interview which was July 21, 2005 went very well. The officer who interviewed us said that it looked like we had everything in order and the case shouldn't take very long.
Hard to do the rating here since the people in the offices we have dealt with have been great. It's just the process that is taking too long. LOL
As of today, Nov. 8, 2005 we have heard nothing else
