Waiting Asylum decision

I wouldn’t worry too much about that , as you said every case is different and fraud in asylum cases are high that’s why denials can be overwhelming. If your case is strong and your lawyer is smart you’ll eventually get approved!!
yep, worried too much is not helping. strong case and good lawyer + pray a lot for sure ;) = case granted!
thanks again for the advice and support! cheers!
 
If I were in your position, I would have done the same until I receive the decision letter.
Again, you are lucky that you have received the "Fees were waived update" as it means 100% approval.
If you have missed it and opened the status check on "Decision was mailed" and you see the word "stopped" on the website and the word "running" in your email, you would have had a heart attack :).

Just for me to Understand we received the “Fees were waived” last night and now it says the Decision was mailed. Does that 100% mean approval?

Hi, i think you need to ask for alien files, BUT I don't think I did it right because I couldn't get the asylum officer interview notes and the preliminary decision.
