How long did your asylum interview wait take?

I filed my I-589 about 8 months ago and haven't heard about an interview date yet. Curious what wait times have looked like for others recently, and which service center you filed with.

I filed with the Texas Service Center in January and got my interview notice about 10 months later. It really varies a lot by service center, so hang in there!
