You will be shocked that my asylum has been approved already a year ago, but still, I got one year. I am currently waiting for my green card. I have a friend who is waiting for asylum and they also gave me one year.

I applied in August 2020, and I have not heard from USCIS other than receipt notice. Seems it takes more than 3 months
RTD: Refugee Travel Document (Form I-571)
USCIS issues refugee travel documents to people with refugee or asylum status and to lawful permanent residents who obtained their Green Cards based on their refugee or asylee status to travel abroad in lieu of COP passport
Looks like this
Refugee Travel Document (Form I-571)
I have applied RTD 3 times. The first one took more than 9 months, and it was already 11 months valid when received.

RTD is offered for a year. It was decided by immigration law it been like that and subject of all the academic and policy issues how it disenfranchises immigrants and their mobility.

USCIS Updates Discretionary Criteria for Case-by-Case Interview Determinations of Adjustment of Status Applications Based on Refugee or Asylee Status
U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services today announced updated guidance (PDF, 319.68 KB) expanding the discretionary criteria USCIS officers use to determine whether to interview applicants filing Form I-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status, based on refugee or asylee status.
The updated criteria are well within the parameters of USCIS’ regulatory authority to determine, on a case-by-case basis, whether an interview is necessary to determine the admissibility of an alien applying for lawful permanent resident status under INA § 209. The updates do not change the eligibility requirements to adjust status.
The list of interview criteria can be found in the Policy Manual, Volume 7, Part L, Chapter 5, Part B. The updated list provides greater parity with the criteria USCIS applies in determining whether to interview other adjustments of status applicants. Each determination by USCIS to waive or require an interview will continue to be made at the discretion of the USCIS officer on a case-by-case basis. While the updated criteria may result in more applicants requested to appear for an interview, the changes are necessary to help ensure program integrity and support USCIS’ efforts to detect and prevent fraud and risks of harm to the United States.

With all due respect, if you can't figure out where to send the I-485 on your own, you probably shouldn't be filing the I-485 on your own. Just an observation.

Because a lot of asylee applicant's had their fingerprints applied to their cases on July 17th I predict that whoever is in charge of this applications is going to process them in bulk. So I think a number of applicants of 2020 will have something (approval or RFE) in coming week or two.
I personally think 6-7 Months is the standard.

His case is pretty fast compared to other cases that I have seen. Did USCIS use his previous fingerprints or he had to submit a new fingerprint? I submitted my application in September and they reused my previous fingerprint. Still waiting for any update.
