Waiting Asylum decision

Well, my Interviewed was completed at Chicago in March 2020 (today) and the Asylum officer was patiently attentive. Even documented everything and gave me time to explain every bit of my story.
Asked important questions and also played with my kids.
I hope it is a sign of approval by God grace.

Can you share your timeline?
When did you apply? Biometric?
I'm in Chicago too and I had to refile

Applied last week of April 2019,
Biometrics after 2 months based on my estimation, Interview March 2 2020.

Asylum officer was patiently attentive and seems new. Documented everything well and gave me ample time to explain every bit of my story.
Also asked relevant questions and also played with my kids.
Am praying and hoping it is a sign of approval by God grace.

I wonder why it took 10 months to get an interview. Do you live close to Chicago or far away?

I live farther but am happy interview has come and go. Praying for approval now. Everything about the officer was positive towards me and I hope so too.

Some times there will be differences in dates, probably, due to workload or pending issues with the officer who handle your case. Anyway, the only important date is the one will be written in your approval letter and I-94 because based on this date you will be eligible to apply for permanent residence one year from that date.
So, what you should do now?
1. Enjoy the relief
2. wait for your approval letter (keep your eyes on your mailbox as you will receive it within 1 week). This mail will contain your decision approval letter and your I 94.
3. In another separate mail, you will receive new work authorization category A05 (A05 means approved asylum).
4. After you receive all of these documents, go to the nearest social security office, make sure to take all these documents, and apply for unrestricted SSN.

Today I have received my AED (A05 with 2 years expiration!). My previous ones were C08 (pending asylum seeker). I have not received any approval letter or I-94. I had applied to renew my AED 5 months ago. Maybe I should contact USCIS for the approval letter and I94. I would need them for my Travel Doc. So weird!
 
I have been waiting for my decision for the last six weeks, and my clock has stopped counting for the previous four weeks, but the clock is still running. Not sure what does that means? I am still legal for another 2 years.
Does anyone know what does this mean?

Hi Chokidar, unfortunately there is no simple answer to why the clock stops counting the days, I am in the same situation as you are, the forum is full of the same question, without a doubt we are in the hands of USCIS and the only thing we have left is wait.

It's a background check as usual, this is why it's taking months to receive a decision. I had an interview in Chicago office.

You right it could be background check . I sent them email last week and they said it’s still under review. So I could not tell where the case is at

Sure, you can have a denial after the background check, maybe that depends on what things the FBI gets when you execute their searches or any other criminal record that you may have in your place of origin, maybe what I intended to express is if after your interview you could measure if it went well or not, according to the time in which you are still waiting for an answer, I mean, if your interview was really bad would you have an almost automatic rejection, right?, or if your interview on the other hand was good you have to wait for the final execution of your background check only as a requirement for the expected news that everyone in this forum expect.. approval!!
