Processing time for green card based on asylum

In 2020 when I checked it, processing time of our type is maximum 15 months.
Then in 2021 it went up 23 months, then 42 months, then 52 months.
Now it’s going back 38 months. It shortened because recent applicants got approved early. Not that they speed up the process.

Example: Someone can be approved in 4 months. Meanwhile others are waiting for 24 months. And the processing time would show about 14 months in that case.

Recent applicants (Applicants in 2021 and 2022) got approved early are happy because they are processed faster. On the other hand, applicants from 2019 and 2020 feel like they’re being forgotten although they paid the fee and wait for so long. This is where the problem lies. If USCIS process by order, there will be no problem at all about the inaccurate processing time.

Please see the attachment for some applicants that got approved within 4-7 months. Same I-485 asylum based case.
Only the spouses of the principles are fast. The principles are still slow.
 
Guys, i am looking for Psychological Evaluation.... Any recommendations please...I see one such expert is 'Claudia Ribas LCSW'

Anybody used her; Is she good?
 
No i was not approved,

I was granted Asylum in September 2017
I filed I485 October 2019
completed my fingerprints in November 2019

Yesterday they updated the status on USCIS website regarding Request for Evidence. I am very worried about what will they ask, that's why asking here for other people's experience. did they ask you for any additional evidence?
It should be the medical examiner.
 
Hey, I just received my card, and it is backdated for one year.
Good luck with your N-400 application!
Congratulation.
I have a question for you.
I have applied for GC from New York in Dec 2020 and live in Buffalo,Newyork but recently I have received a reply as per my e request that my case is in Miami Florida field office and will receive a decision within 90 day.
Do you think that they can schedule for an interview in Florida when I am living in Newyork.
What happened in case of you?

Thank you.
As far as I know, and maybe you already knew that CIS started transferring 485 applications (EB/Asylum/Refugee) from multiple service centers to NBC/field offices to speed up the processing time. These transmitted cases may not be picked up and processed by your nearby FO. They were selected by the lowest working volume FOs. Thus, your case can be processed anywhere.
If an interview is necessary for your case, it will be transferred to your local offices one more time. If not, congratulations; your 485 application will be granted soon.

FYI: I just noticed that you mentioned you are living in BUFFALO, NY? Is that BUFFALO, NY just had a mass shooting?
If so, stay safe and stay strong.

Sorry man. 90 days policy is beyond my knowledge. You may want to consult with an attorney.
