Had my interview a month ago. The asylum officer was very nice and had great patience in hearing out my story and fears. Despite my stress and worries about having to go back to my home country and face persecution, it turned out to be a really pleasant experience at the asylum office.
Anyhow, told to come in after 2 weeks to pick up the decision at the end of the interview but the officer called at the last minutes to change it to a mail-in (think coz I'm in status).
Anybody in a similar situation? how long should I expect to wait? Is there currently any backlogs at the newark office?
I know it hasn't been so long but I'm getting really worried. Even the prospect of having to go back crushes me.
