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!
