I applied for asylum in December 2013, had my fingerprints taken in December 2013, I received my EAD in June 2014...... Still no interview, just waiting...... I'll soon apply for the renewal of my EAD, my lawyer says that due to the backlog everything is just backed up. I applied in Boston (which is a field office) but apparently they have opening an asylum office here....its the luck of the draw, for those who have been interviewed, and for those who have to just wait endlessly..... Be courageous, lets hope things work out eventually.[/QUOTE
@SanAX I interviewed sep 2014 and they asked me to come back to USCIS and pick up the decision letter after 14 days but till now after 5 months still nothing, to be honest with you I dont know what will happen to us.but my lawyer said because of backlog they can not decide about lots of applicants till now,like your lawyer,So please dont worry and be patient,
I can sent you a link , this is the report for all asylum applicant for last three months of 2014 and you can find the same report for 2013,it could help me to understand how many applications they have without any decision.
