Done. Pls everybody do it & reply here. Its for everybody's benefit
Hi everyone!
I really hope this would help anyone, so I'm sharing this here too.
My timeline:
Office - SF.
02/2020 application
04/2020 scheduled interview - then canceled
02/2021 we got status changed to Interview Rescheduled (or something like this)
03/2021 - the actual interview.
04/14/2021 - we got Fees Were Waived for I765 (work authorization). (even tho we HAD an EAD that was 6 months old and we didn't need it renewed so soon). Our lawyer was super unhelpful - she had no idea what it is.
04/14/2021 - same day - Application Type: I765, APPLICATION FOR EMPLOYMENT AUTHORIZATION. Your Case Status: Card/ Document Production
04/14/2021 - same day - Application Type: I765, APPLICATION FOR EMPLOYMENT AUTHORIZATION Your Case Status: Initial Review (???? yes, this order!)
04/15/2021 - I589, APPLICATION FOR ASYLUM. Your Case Status: Decision
04/19/2021 - we were approved (the actual letter was received only by lawyer, we didn't receive it yet)
We also had a lawyer from the day 1 (and it's crucial IMO, because you can't prepare your story as good as lawyer can).
So good luck everybody on this tough path!
I'm praying for you guys to get the official status!

I can't remember but I think decision is pending but to be honest after 6 month I stopped checking it and then in about another 8 months I got my decision so I can remember the last status before reaching a decision

Sorry been busy recently and this is the third time I got the same question. to be honest the last 8 months before mailing the decision I stopped checking my application. I got busy with a new job I found and I decided to live my life as there is no case pending. So I really can't remember however I do remember reading Decision is Pending after the interview. May I know what are you guys trying to reach by asking this question maybe I can help more
Thank you for your answer
I am waiting to my decision 21 months but last month my case status has changed from decision pending to application pending, we wanted to know is this proces same for any case

Best bet is search first " decision pending" and go thru the posts & then repeat with "application pending" ...it will give idea from other people's experiences And then you can post here the difference
Master hearing is just the pre requisite for the main individual hearing! There the judge will refresh your memory on why you are there reconfirm your name and address and ask you go get a lawyer then reschedule your individual hearing for you! This happens in less than an hour for like a group of people in that category fir that day . No big deal on this one

At what stage of the case, you would know your Judge?
Master hearing
No difference
We were in the SF Asylum Office. We met in person with an officer in the hallway, but the interview itself was through the iPad.
