"Decision was mailed" could mean a lot of things:
1. Decision was mailed and the EAD colck is currently running, could be referral to court (if out of status) or Notice of Intention to Deny (in status).
2. Decision was mailed and the EAD colck is currently stopped, there are two possibilities:
a. If out of status: then it is approval
b. If in status: approval or final deny.
No, it didn't happen before that someone gets approval and clock is still running.
Decision was mailed and the clock is currently running may be either:
Referral to immigration judge or recommended approval.
It is impossible to get final approval with running clock.
Sorry, keep your fingers crossed to get recommended approval.
When you are filling the EAD form did the indicate that you want your information sent to SSN? If you clicked yes then wait for it , it will come if not you can go to their office and apply
So happy for you. I hope the status site worked for you. Good luck to others waiting to get theirs soon. Cheers
Kindly, be sure of the information you post not to misslead others.
What you are talking about is the initial SSN, which is restricted for work only. The USCIS issues it based on your C08 EAD.
The EAD after granted asylum is different, category A05, and you aren't the one who applies for it, instead, your Asylum office applies for it.
They don't ask for SSN for this EAD.
Any granted asylum applicant should do this step at the nearest Social security office by taking the asylum decision, I 94(very important) and the A05 EAD.

Thank you! Fingers crossed! Otherwise it will take many years.
Oh so sorry thought its the initial EAD. Besides you correct with love , we are all here as family. No one has the intention of misleading here. We are all learning. Tnx for the info.

My lawyer told me she has a client who filed in early August and hasn't still got an interview (main Chicago office). My attorney inquired about it and the USCIS said that some of the cases get pushed to the backlog and unlike most cases that get an intreview in 5-6 weeks, these cases have to wait for an indefinite amount of time.

Thank you for your answer.
I Filled in early June 2019 and I got an interview (Anahiem office).but he applied August 2018 and he didn't get an interview However, he has strong case.
Those who applied late 2018 were pushed to backlog. Let your friend be patient . If the case is strong its with the wait. Good luck to him or her.
Hi guys,
I received the following from my lawyer.
"Good Morning,
Thank you for your email on behalf of your client. At this time your clients case is still pending an initial interview and their EAD clock is running at 143 days. Unfortunately due to the large amount of rescheduled cases (first priority) and newly filed cases we have been unable to place your client on the schedule.
All is in order for your clients case, and it is now just pending an interview."
I believe my case went to backlog as I filed in July and still nothing. The question is which backlog is this? LIFO backlog? Prior LIFO backlog?
Man, I think it is going to be a really long wait but fingers crossed.

Which office?
I think it's LIFO backlog. My attorney had a case in Chicago who was interviewed 5 months after application. The prior LIFO backlog is normally 2-3 years.
My case is in Anaheim office. Any idea about this office?
Hopefully you are right and we will not wait for years to come. Fingers crossed.
