I know that. The thing is that I like to know how things work. That's why I'm just curious what affects the time we are waiting for decision. Maybe there is some pattern, I don't know. It's just seem highly unlikely that some cases got approved in 2 weeks and some waiting for years. There has to be a reason.

Thank you all! I consider myself lucky because my timeline was short. I applied in Newark AO in January 5th. Notice of receipt on January 8th. Biometrics on January 29th. Interviewed on February 11th. And after two weeks (today Feb 25th) I received my approval notice from the office. Good luck to you all. To everyone out there who's planning to apply for asylum: GET A LAWYER. It's intangible.

Ok. Let's analyze the decision making process of USCIS asylum. This is what I noticed so far by lurking in these forum site. There is a new policy by this administration, the Last in First Out, which was implemented last year, 2018, and it is exactly as you read it. The latest filers are prioritized and an office will work its way back into the backlog as soon as it can. This policy seems to eliminate the applications rejected by AOs by quickly sending them to Immigration Court after the interview in two weeks. This eases the burden on asylum offices as the courts decide on the applicant. Also a good strategy as EADs are abused with frivolous applications pre 2018 policy. 150 days you get a chance for a work permit denied or approved before 2018. It may be that frivolous applications rarely showup on courts. Background checks and whatever goings on on AOs and supervisors are the pending ones are decided and as I read from here, have a good chance of approval and a slim chance of sending to IC ( I have read a few post that there were decisions pending for months but got referred to IC). The backlog cases are slightly moving faster as it seems. If in the interview you did not convince the AO, then it is two weeks pickup the referral to IC, according to most forum post. It depends on you, the applicant on how you handle the interview. There are countries of persecutions that seem to need more background check than others or depends on the applicant. There is no pattern here. It is the same everywhere. They are working hard to have a decision in 180 days. Just wait for your decision.

I agree with you on these analyses. 2018 also saw the new USCIS policy that gives officers full discretion to deny immigration applications without first sending a warning (RFE OR NOID) to the applicant

Congrats!!

Could you please share what office you had your interview in and what country are you from?

I'm trying to collect this data to maybe see some patterns in decision making process. So far I see that people from China are getting their approvals pretty fast while people from Russia don't.

Hello,
I am from Saudi Arabia. The office was in Phoenix, but it falls under the LA Asylum Office
 
After a long wait, I finally received my approval notice today.
Applied in 2013, with no attorney.
Interviewed end of 2017
Received NOID Mid 2018. Hired an attorney to help with rebuttal. Heard nothing else until the approval today.
All I can say is prayers work.
I pray for Good News for all those who are still awaiting their decisions.

Congruts! Welcome to the club. Your wait was almost 4 years. Hope this helps those who are still waiting....now they know that the wait can be up to 4 years.

I think it is system error. It happened twice since they have applied the new case status tool. The system stops for one day, then returns back properly

What about yours if you have an open case? Stopped too?
Because some people said if it stopped it means they made a decision but if it happens to all of us like a month ago you are right “system error”
 
Yes, mine is stopped too, but as I said, it happened twice before. Each time it stops for one day, which raises my hopes to the sky, then the system updates the second day.

Let’s wish that they made a decision and won’t start running again the second day lol
 
I went last week to asylum office for inquiry about decision. They told me that the officer has not made decision yet on my case. It's been almost 3 months since the interview. What might be holding the decision. Any thoughts?
