Thats because you are still in status. People out of status are a priority...so, as soon you are out of status you will get a letter for your fingerprints .

Have you got the receipt letter confirming that USCIS indeed have received and process your application?
ok, let me make it simple,
Do you have your Case Number and Receipt Number yet?
If you don't have it yet then call your asylum office and ask them whether they had your data or not in their system.
You will be asked your date of birth, address and other data so they can check you in their computer system.
If you are already in the system then just wait for the biometric and interview letter to arrive (they were sent separately,
biometric first then interview letter).

if you are not in the system, first ask the USCIS center (where you will be interviewed) what to do,
usually they will advise you to RESENT the application again to the USCIS processing center (example Laguna Niguel if you are in Southern California), with letter explaining that you had sent your application before, and also sent a print out of USPS (postal service) confirmation that they had deliver your application in the past to USCIS.

Sometimes, your application is delivered to USCIS PO Box, but somehow USCIS LOSS / MISPLACE it
and never input your name to the system.

Good Luck :)

Hi, Bro,

The following is the scheduling priorities for interview from Affirmative Asylum Procedure Manual, I think it may help you and other guys still waiting for their interview to explain that:

All cased within the pool are categorized into priorities. RAPS automatically schedules cases in the following order, exhausting each priority listed before scheduling cases from the next priority group.
Priority 1: Reform Rescheduled cases.
Priority 2: Reform cases beginning with those aged 21 days and working towards the newer cases (i.e., from 21 days
day old)
Priority 3: Reform cases that are between 22 and 100 days of receipt, from newest to oldest (i.e from 22 days old to
100 days old).
Priority 4:Reform cased that are over 100 days from day of receipt , from newest to oldest(i.e. 100 days-999days
Priority 5: Pre-reform rescheduled cases.
Priority 6: Pre-reform cased where the applicant request an immediate interview and the interview is added to the
scheduler through use of the INTERVIEW REQUEST(INTR) command.
Priority 7:prep-reform cased, starting with the most recently filed and working to the older cases in the backlog from
the newest to the oldest.
I think the policy makes the minimum quantity of applicants to delay,but for the guys have gotten delayed it means more delay for them. That means the sooner more sooner, the slower more slower. That is why some guys get them interviewed almost immediately after submitting, however other guys have to wait such looooooooong time.

I hope it helps.

The post I quote above,
explain how USCIS decide the "PRIORITY" of the Interview date.
apparently, once you were waiting for more than 100 days,
you will most likely wait even longer because now you are no longer in the "PRIORITY".
This were designed so most people do not try to use asylum as a way to get EAD (working permit).
This in theory work well, if there is enough asylum officer to interview the NEW applicant at that particular asylum office.
but
since there is not enough asylum officer to interview people,
then this method don't work at all...
