Has anyone received their asylum green card approval since December?
Hi everyone,
I’m wondering if anyone with an asylum-based green card application has gotten approved recently, especially since December. My case has been pending for over a year and is still stuck on “Case Was Updated To Show Fingerprints.”
With the new restrictions being discussed under the Trump administration, I’m also getting worried about whether any upcoming executive orders or policy changes could slow down or affect pending asylum green card applications.
So I’d like to ask:
1. Has anyone seen approvals for asylum-based green cards in December?
2. Could the new administration’s immigration actions affect pending asylee I-485 cases?
3. Has anyone received RFEs, interview notices, or any updates recently?
Any experiences or timelines would really help. Thanks in advance!

I had my first interview with my spouse at Albany field office on 06/25/25 and got RFE for medical, my medical was received on 07/01/25, 11/04/25 I got notified that my interview got cancelled, USCIS said it must be a system glitch regarding the cancellation notice and my case is in processing, today 12/08/25 I got and update from USICS requesting another initial interview on 01/12/26, I am confused with it, have anyone had gone through the same situation
green card approved
Hello Vawa family, I thank our Heavenly Father because I had my interview today and everything went wonderfully. It was so quick, it only lasted 13 minutes, and a few hours later I was approved. The best Christmas gift I could have asked for. We must pray a lot, and I assure you that God's timing is perfect. Thank you all for your comments; your stories give strength and encouragement to others. Thank you, God, for everything. I wish you all the best; you will soon receive the wonderful news of your approval. My journey has come to an end.

transferred to Chicago Fo
I asked Emma in April and she said that my case had been transferred to Chicago Fo which is non-local Fo. Later, I asked twice and got the same answer. There has been no update so far. Is Chicago FO one of the slowest FOs?
