Hi Alex, Congratualations! I think the timeline had a typo could you please let me know when was your interview? May 2021 or May 2020? and were you told that your decision is pending background checks when you inquired about a decision from USCIS?
 
Hello everyone,

I applied in 2015 (Chicago) and was interviewed in December 2017 (Chicago).

Few months after my interview, my attorney passed away and his law firm was closed, and his assistant sent a letter to USCIS to send any further information directly to the applicant.

January 2018, there was a change in policy in asylum system that was new people applying for asylum would get interviews and decisions first. So there was backlog of 2014, 2015, 2016 applicants.

Then there was just one update in my case in January 2021, that was decision change from “Decision Pending” to “Application Pending.”

It’s almost been more than four years. I have not requested for an inquiry or consulted a attorney.

So, I want to know what would be a good idea regarding my situation. Anybody in a similar situation as me? Should I mark an inquiry? If so, where can I do that? Does it speed up to get decisions? Please advise me.

Better to submit an inquiry to the asylum office through the congressman.

Security background check stage

I mean the order does not seem to be right. The status changes to Application Pending after the interview but here it has changed 1 month before the interview.

That’s more than normal! It happens and most likely it’s stuck in the background check that’s why it keeps changing
 
is there possible that never received first receipt when we submitted I-589 ?, My attorney re-submitted the application and never received a receipts till 7 weeks. Should i re-submit via online ?, Thank you for your advise.
