Processing time for green card based on asylum

Good job.
The lawyer spoke to me yesterday and said that after contacting other lawyers, reviewing court decisions, and consulting with USCIS, they told him that we must file a mandamus petition after one year and 16.5 months , as specified on the website. He said they will dismiss any request before that or will fight it. Of course, this is after all the delays, and while it used to work before, the situation is different now. My advice to anyone considering filing a mandamus petition is to first choose a knowledgeable and competent lawyer. Also, before signing a contract and paying them, make sure they are transparent with you so you don't end up with a lawyer who is only interested in the money and won't even respond to you. Because after they take your money, which is a very large sum, over $5000, you'll be at their mercy, and they won't even answer your calls. In short, do your research and ask questions before embarking on this process.
good luck!!
facts
 
me? no Trump admin. August 2025 after 9 years later.
You should be in a slightly better position then people who were granted under Biden. I think people who were approved asylum under Biden are more likely to be scheduled for Green Card interview. But that's not 100% as I had no interview for GC and my asylum was approved during Biden. So I guess it's as always YMMV
 
Today, after almost a month, I was able to chat with a live agent and he responded that my case is pending adjudication (never told me such a thing) and he didn’t directly respond if my case is still at NBC or local office. He said “If you receive a notice from USCIS it will tell you the office the notice originated from”
Any ideas ?
I filled 22 months ago one year after my approval
What does your status say online?
 
Oh and Emma said they are adjudicating your case? So maybe you've got good news coming your way soon. At least, I hope so.
Yes, actually this was the second time they told me this.
I tried to expedite my case 2 months ago and they didn’t accept it and told me my case in adjudication process. But emma never told me that, Emma used to tell me it’s in normal processing
