No, actually, they give the number of decisions made. But this does not mean that the cases decided were the ones that were submitted over the past few months. Among the numbers of cases decided can be cases that were filled (and interviewed) in 2012 and 2014. In the same way, cases like yours...

You can look at the previous USCIS quarterly stakeholder meetings. They have a table giving you all the information about backlog and speed of cases in all 8 asylum offices.

If you are not very comfortable with the steps for Asylum/Green card, then you should hire a lawyer to avoid some costly mistakes.

I don't trust the USCIS website a lot. Sometimes they don't send you the notifications even though you selected that option. So, I think you should continue to check your case status often.

Well, for many people it takes more than 5months. I think you should expect a longer wait since they are living overseas.

It just means that your EAD application was accepted and they asked the cardmaker to print your card. In a few days, you will see another update saying that your card was mailed to you. I will say that in less than two weeks from (January 8) you should receive your new card. My advice is for you...

That's a very long waiting time indeed. I think you should first start sending inquiries. If that does not work, you should enter in contact with your congressman to ask his office to let you know what is going on.

This is an interesting case so please keep us posted when you receive your decision. Also, would you mind pasting your timeline as a signature on your account?

I am sorry that your EAD is taking so long. I hope the wait will be over soon for you. Thank you deedar for your timeline. By the way, it will be more effective to post your timeline as a signature so it will show up on all your messages. It will help you and help others who are in the same...

You can find this information by looking at their timeline under their messages.

There is not much that can be done except waiting, waiting, and waiting. One thing you might try is to contact the office of the Congressman of your area. Explain them your situation and ask them if they can find out why your case is taking so long. ----- On another note, would you mind pasting...

Thank you Ah786 for sharing your timeline . Can you paste your timeline here as a signature so it will show up under all your posts everywhere. In case you would like to, check the picture here that will show you where you can do it.

This is such a great news. Congratulations!! It's always great to hear people in the same boat as us have a positive outcome. By the way Lana_E, it will be very helpful to us if you can write down your application's timeline as a signature like many of us.

It depend on the university you are applying to. I would suggest you to contact their department of International Student or the International Admission (if there is one) and ask them if it is possible for you to apply while waiting for your decision. If you are admitted you can for some...

1.8 year but still not interview.

Work permit for asylum applicants usually takes between 30 and 60 days. However, on some rare cases (and if you did not properly file your I-765) it can takes 3 months. There are people here who are waiting over 2 years and do not even have an interview yet. So tried to apply for EAD soon and...

There might be many reasons, one might be a problem with the USCIS system. My advice will be to go at the walkin days and explain that the error is not on your side and that your clock should not be stopped (in order to apply for EAD after 150 days). I don't think the emails and phone calls can...

Except waiting, I don't know what other options are. Even if you request an update, they will just send you a pre-filled form with some generic comments telling you that your case is under-review and it will be moved forward as soon as resources permit it. However, you can check the number of...

I think yes, you can change your address in the same state or a neighboring which is covered by the SAME asylum office, without creating some more delays. However, I won't recommend you (I am not lawyer though) to leave for a state that has a different asylum office. If you do, your case might...

Congratulation! However, every case is different so I doubt there is a specific pattern for each region's background check. Let's hope that everything will be fine quickly. However, can you tell us your timeline? Like asylum office, receipt date, date of interview and anything special you have...
