We had an asylum interview in Rosedale NY office @ the beginning of June. After my lawyer called the officer conducting the interview last week to check on the status, she told him that she is awaiting the background check results. She also sent us the following letter:

U.S. Department of Home Land Security
NY Asylum Office

Dear Mr.XXXXX
Re: A#XXXXXX and A#XXXXXX

At present, all securitiy clearances for the above named applicant have not been completed. We will contact you as soon as all the necessary background verifications are confirmed for final processing of the application pending through our office.

If there are any further questions please contact our office. Kindly adress all correspondence to the officer named above.

Thank you,
XXXXXX
for XXXX, Director

Does that mean she has approved the case, and just waiting for security clearance?(Why would she wait for it if she would want to deny the case?)
How long could this background search take?
What do you think?
Thank you.
