Hello all
I had my interview on April 11 2025 , however I emailed LA office and they responded with this email and my case is decision is pending
According to our records your case is under extended review. As a part of a greater eligibility determination, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) conducts background and security checks on applicants and certain petitioners for immigration benefits. These checks are necessary to ensure national security and public safety. In some cases, the results of these checks require USCIS to perform additional inquiries or consult with other government agencies. When this is necessary, there is often some delay in resolving the checks, and it is difficult to predict when resolution will be completed. Please be assured that this case has not been overlooked. Once all checks are resolved, the application will be adjudicated, and your constituent will be notified of the decision.
Once we receive all required background and security checks back completed; if we need any additional information, or need to conduct a follow up interview, we will reach out in an efficient manner.
I did some research on this conversation and found some people who posted same response now going through adjustment of status.
I am a little bit nervous. Any advice is highly appreciated !!

Most people here wait around 4 months after their interview until a decision is mailed out to them and many of them got approved.
For you it says "case is under extended review" which literally means it is stuck in background checks just like they mentioned in their detailed response. Nothing much you can do except give them at least 120 days after interview, now if you continue to wait for a long time then you can pursue other options. A lawyer once wrote that all applicants go through same background checks whether they will be approved or referred to court. I wish you the best.
Thank you for your detailed answer !!
My decision pickup is today but informed delivery is showing a letter from the asylum office that was mailed out on the 5/15. I have no doubt this will be regarding decision being delayed and to expect it in the mail but I have to show up at the office anyways just in case since I haven't read the letter yet and it will be delivered after my pickup time. Disappointed about this last second delay but can't say I am surprised.

Check eoir.
Nothing there.
If I was referred, I would be notified in person on my decision pickup day, why would they mail it out before then.
My online status is also showing "Decision is pending" since interview day.
Oddly enough, neither me nor my lawyer received any calls from them regarding the delay.
Perhaps they sent a decision in mail and you'll get one in person as well?
I think they typically notify people about delay in decision via the phone call and not through the letter.
Good luck today on the pickup. I wish you an approval.
