Six months is a long wait. I think you could receive your decision at any time now. Hope for the best!
What does the response to the congressional case status request below by USCIS indicate?
Is this a generic reply?
"U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) records indicate that your constituent was interviewed by the Arlington Asylum Office and the application is still pending. An asylum application may require additional time to be adjudicated after an initial asylum interview for several reasons including awaiting background and security check results, and/or requiring a re-interview. Additionally, the need to reassign staff to high priority workloads, such as protection screenings for detained noncitizens, may also be a reason for delaying the adjudication. Please be assured that your constituent’s application has not been overlooked"

That's a boilerplate response from USCIS. Nothing specific to your case, just text they use for all responses.
I actually got the same response from congressman's office today. Word to word. What a coincidence!
Yeah, you are probably in that 2 - 3 % of people that are heavily affected by changing FIFO to LIFO. 2014-2016. I hope you found safety in this country - that means a lot. All other things are less important. You could build everything from scratch having safety and determination.

Hi, I had my interview in Arlington in January this year, filed for asylum in August 2017. Still waiting for a decision, at this point it is very frustrating having to wait an uncertain amount of time for a decision in my case.

I’m heavily considering filing for mandamus. My attorney says in order for the lawsuit be successful, the judge takes into consideration the full amount of time it’s passed since I filed my asylum application, and not the 7 months since the interview. So, I’ll give it a couple of months only. I’m really tired of waiting honestly.
