Waiting Asylum decision

She wasn’t out of status, I don’t know what’s main office and what’s not, she had an interview NJ office I believe.
It’s believed that decision may take longer for those who are still in a valid status and their interview took place in a field office (not one of the 8 main offices in the US)
 
Do you guys have an idea if being a male or female makes any difference in terms of the time a decision may take?
 
Hi everyone, I just want to give you update that I have received approval letter together with stamped i94 last week.
I filed the asylum application in 2016, interview in Feb 2022 (after 3x expedite requests) and finally got approved early 2023.
It was long waiting time, almost 7 year.
I would like to say thank you for everyone, you guys been helping a lot by sharing and I feel there’s always hope.
I wish you all good luck!

Thank you! It’s SF office.
I’m sorry I’m still having hard time to understand if I was out of status or not when apply.
I came with B1/B2 visa and received asylum application dated 8 months later after my arrival.

Did you happen to inquire about your decision in the past months? Or tried to expedite your decision in any way? Have you requested FOIA? If so, what range of information you received?

Do you think after FOIA request they send decision soon ? I only applied for Interview details. Is there any other way to get decision quickly ?
I have no idea my friend. I was interviewed in Aug last year but have not inquired about the decision and haven't requested FOIA yet. Just hoping......
