Case Processing
WOM
Hi everyone,
About 40 days after my WOM, my case status changed to “Case is ready to be scheduled for an interview.”
I asked my lawyer, but they said USCIS has not given an interview date yet. They said we just have to wait.
How long did it take for you to get an interview date after this update?
Thank you for sharing your experiences!
I-485 Based on Granted Asylum – Filed 11/01/2024, Still Waiting After 23 Months – NBC Worked My Case on 09/18/2026
Hi everyone,
I’m wondering if anyone has a similar timeline and can share their experience.
My case is I-485 based on granted asylum:
* Asylum granted by Immigration Judge: August 2024
* I-485 filed: November 1, 2024
* Biometrics: December 4, 2024
* RFE: None
* Interview: None so far
* No major updates since biometrics
* Service Center: National Benefits Center (NBC)
I recently contacted a USCIS live agent, and they told me:
“An officer last worked your case on 09/18/2026.”
They also said that once NBC finishes processing the case, USCIS will forward it to the local field office for further processing.
My case has now been pending for almost 2 years.
Is anyone here with a similar timeline, especially people who filed around October–December 2024?
* When did you get your approval?
* Did your case transfer from NBC to a field office?
* Did you have an interview or RFE?
* Did you file a Writ of Mandamus, or did USCIS approve it without WOM?
* If your case was recently approved, how many days/months did you wait?
I would really appreciate it if anyone with a similar asylum-based I-485 timeline could share their experience. It would be very helpful to know whether cases around my filing date are finally moving.
Thank you! 🙏

B2 extension
My B-2 extension of stay (Form I-539) is still pending. I filed the I-539 before my I-94 expired on May 16, 2026.
What happens if I leave the United States before USCIS makes a decision? Will leaving while my application is pending affect my B-2 visa or my ability to enter the U.S. in the future? Could I be banned from entering the U.S.?
Also, what happens if USCIS does not make a decision until November 16, 2026, which is about six months after my I-94 expired? If USCIS approves the extension after November 16, would the six-month extension be counted from May 17, 2026, or from the date USCIS approves it?
