2020 SF asylum seekers

Let me share my timeline, even though the topic is not active.
Office - SF.
02/2020 application
04/2020 scheduled interview - then canceled
02/2021 we got status changed to Interview Rescheduled (or something like this)
03/2021 - the actual interview.
04/14/2021 - we got Fees Were Waived for I765 (work authorization). (even tho we HAD an EAD that was 6 months old and we didn't need it renewed so soon). Our lawyer was super unhelpful - she had no idea what it is.
04/14/2021 - same day - Application Type: I765, APPLICATION FOR EMPLOYMENT AUTHORIZATION. Your Case Status: Card/ Document Production
04/14/2021 - same day - Application Type: I765, APPLICATION FOR EMPLOYMENT AUTHORIZATION Your Case Status: Initial Review (???? yes, this order!)
04/15/2021 - I589, APPLICATION FOR ASYLUM. Your Case Status: Decision
04/19/2021 - we were approved (the actual letter was received only by lawyer, we didn't receive it yet)

So good luck everybody on this tough path!

Congrats.

Did you get an email in the time period after you interview and before getting "Fees Were Waived" that your case is "under initial review" or "Application is pending"?

Thanks!
Nope, the order was exactly as I've described.
We've got the email on the next day after an interview though
"Your Case Status: Testing and Interview
You completed your interview. The time it takes USCIS to issue a decision after completion of an interview may vary."

But that was expected I guess. And the next one was Fees Were Waived for I765 - 1 month later.
