No. The person who was waiting for her interview changed to application is pending. No interview completed update

Got it, thanks for the update. I think they changed all the statuses to "application is pending" because of the pause in the decision.

My case applied March 2016

2nd interview Dec 2024
Twice in 2025 got switch from Decision pending to Application pending then back again.
Now "Application pending" and interview completed Dec 8th.
Thanks to everyone who posted today you helped me to get out of my panick attack.

So after 2 years, you got the second interview. How was that?
Same here I was worried that I am the only one . I do not see any decision pending anywhere now .

Yes, after both interviews they would post. And in August when they changed it back to "decision pending" they also put in "interview completed 1August.
Its like each time they make this change they put in a "interview completed" on the day they make that change.

Mine changed from decision pending to application pending today and also I received an update of you completed your interview today.
yeah. it looks like there is a pattern: if you are waiting for an interview and your status is an interview to be scheduled you get application pending; if you had an interview and you status was decision pending you get application pending + completed interview; if you had an interview and your application was pending you get nothing.
from an email obtained from people waiting from interview we are all just sent for additional background check. no more no less

Hi. Why September status update between October statuses? Looks like fake to be honest…

if people are not getting approved , why they are checked ?
it feels like they want to start vetting immediately after application. that was the email together with the change from 'waiting for the interview to be scheduled' to application pending:
"There has been a recent processing action taken on your case.
Receipt Number:xxxxxxxxx
Application Type: I589, APPLICATION FOR ASYLUM
Your Case Status: Initial Review
Your application with USCIS is pending.
For information related to the 180-Day Asylum EAD Clock and the Form I-765, Application for Employment Authorization, please review: The 180-Day Asylum EAD Notice.
During this step, USCIS initiates the background checks of the applicant/petitioner and identifies issues that may need to be addressed either during an interview or by asking the applicant/petitioner to submit additional information or documentation. USCIS reviews the applicant's/petitioner's criminal history, determines if there are national security concerns that need to be addressed, and reviews the application/petition for fraud indicators. If you have filed an I-485, I-589, I-751, N-400, I-90, I-821, I-131 or I-765, you can expect to receive an appointment notice to appear at an Application Support Center to have your fingerprints and/or photographs taken. The timing of your appointment is determined by the number of applicants ahead of you that also need a biometric appointment. We try to schedule biometric appointments as quickly as possible and in most cases you will receive your appointment notice within 30 days of submitting your application. We will send your appointment notice approximately 14 days ahead of your scheduled appointment. It is important that you keep this appointment. If absolutely necessary, you can request that your appointment be rescheduled however, please be aware that rescheduling may delay the processing of your application. Please follow the instructions on your appointment notice if you need to reschedule. Occasionally, you may receive an appointment notice to appear at an Application Support Center to have your fingerprints taken when you have filed a form other than those listed above. In these situations, you may receive your appointment notice more than 30 days after submitting your application or petition.
Log-in to your myUSCIS account to view your case history and understand what you can expect to happen next on your case.
Current processing times can be found on the USCIS website at under Check Processing Times."
yeah, that is my thought process too. even that I expect they are going to pass this vetting power to the new vetting center in Atlanta, that is expected to centralize and enforce the administration policy

That new Atlanta center is a strong reason for all these overnight changes we experienced.
