485 based on grant of asylum interview
Hi everyone,
I just finished my asylum-based green card interview this morning, and I'm happy to share that it went very well.
The officer only asked me questions from my application. We found a few mistakes on the form, and we corrected them together during the interview. The entire interview lasted about 40 minutes.
At the end, the officer told me he would enter all the corrections into the system, review everything, and then make a final decision. He also said that I should receive my green card before long after he finishes the review.
Based on my personal experience, the interview was very straightforward and much easier than I expected. I don't think everyone going to an asylum-based green card interview necessarily needs a lawyer. If your case is straightforward and you're familiar with your application, you can do well by answering honestly and confidently. Of course, if you feel you need legal assistance because of the complexity of your case or for peace of mind, there's nothing wrong with hiring a lawyer.
I hope this helps anyone who is feeling nervous. Be truthful, review your application carefully before your interview, and stay calm. Wishing everyone the very best with their interviews!

🥳Congratulations. I showed up for my interview three weeks ago, but it was cancelled right then and there because they didn't have my documents at that office, so now I'm waiting for them to reschedule it

Well, thank you everyone for the kind wishes and support. I truly appreciate it.
As for my USCIS case, I'm still waiting for a decision. When I filed my mandamus lawsuit, the USCIS attorney requested a 30-day extension, which runs until the 10th of next month. I'm hopeful that a decision will be made by then.
Thank you all for your prayers, encouragement, and continued support throughout this journey.
