Waiting Asylum decision

[Ze33]

Thanks. Did you ever make any attempts to make it faster? Like expedite request or ombudsman?

Last year I did submit an inquiry through the congressman but I never tried expedite request or ombudsman.

My friend it seems that your case was approved! If you saw in case status history “Fees were waived” that means your case approved! I have a question, you waited long time for decision, did you ever send email to the asylum office by asking about decision? Or did you ever made case inquiry?
what made them to keep decision for such a long time

I am waiting decision from Boston office

I was at Houston and always got the reply your decision is still pending but were always polite and told me it's normal over the phone

Congratulations. Can you share the email for Houston office?

Hi Aseek, how much time it takes to get response after requesting FOIA? Does it impact ongoing case proceedings? Thanks

Thanks for sharing. Does online status show "Application Pending" or "Decision Pending"? When you inquire, do they say the case is still in background check?
