Case status changed from "Decision Pending" to "Application pending"

Hello everyone, I just wanted to share a good news. I got my asylum approved on 11/19/2025 at the Tustin office, and right now my new card is being produced. I finally received the approval after submitting my asylum application 9 years ago. It has been a very long and difficult wait, but it’s finally over. I hope this gives encouragement to anyone still waiting. Stay strong, and I hope you all receive good news soon!
congratulations! Happy to hear that. Which country are you from?
 
Thank you. I'm from China.
Congratulations! Did you use WOM to get the interview scheduled? I see your timeline, and noticed getting the decision is really quick after the interview. Please share more details if you can, it really helps others still waiting…… thank you!

I didn’t use WOM. I submitted my asylum application in November 2016, and my interview took place on September 26, 2025. I waited almost 9 years. After the interview, I received my approval notice a little over 40 days later. Everyone’s timeline is different. I know some people get their results in about two weeks, while others wait more than a year.

Has anyone received a second interview notice or maybe even already had it? If so, how did it go? Mine is 'application pending' currently. Had first interview in August.
