Hello Everyone,
After I did my First interview the AO told me that I can come to pick up the decision after 14 days; however on the same day I supposed to go and pick it, I received a call from the AO stating that the decision was not ready and it will be mailed to me. I kept waiting for the mail for 2 months without a reply so I contacted the Asylum Office and I have been told that they need to conduct a Second Interview because they failed to obtain all the information they needed from me on the first interview (none of my fault I believe because I kept speaking for 2.5 hours and my case is well documented).
During the last Three months I tried many times to contact the Asylum Office and I received always the same answer, which is they are extremely busy and they can not give any exact date for my second Interview, they hope soon they can and they are sorry for the inconvenience. Now I will complete on the next week 150 days (5 months) without a decision that means I can be eligible to apply for EAD but I read on the Affirmative Asylum Procedures Manual (AAPM) that Adding an Interview to the Schedule will Restarts stopped the clock as of new interview date.
Till now I have not officially informed (via mail) about the Second Interview Date, My Questions are:-
1. Will Adding Second Interview Date going to impact my clock?
(delays and second interview is none of my responsibility I believe)
2. How Can I check My Clock Anyway?
I am not referred to IJ yet, my case is still pending with Asylum Office so the IC # will not work on my case.
Thank you in advance for replies, best
