APPROVED. Newark FO, asylum-based I-485, mandamus worked.
Timeline: • Aug 2024: I-485 filed • Sept 2024: biometrics • 2 years of nothing • Late Aug 2026: mandamus filed in D.N.J. • Early Sept 2026: government served • Oct 19: interview scheduled • Nov 10: interview, ~2 hours, no docs requested, got a "held for review" notice. Online status showed "Interview Cancelled and Notice Ordered" the same day, which scared me, but it just means the interview was closed as continued. Step moved to "Decision." • Nov 12: approved Two days from interview to approval. Under three months from filing the lawsuit. For anyone stuck past normal processing times: the mandamus is not a scary thing. The government didn't fight it, they just scheduled the interview. Flat fee, worth every dollar. Still waiting on I-131 and the physical card. Good luck everyone.

j
just looking looking2d
interview was at 9am and same day at 4pm i got interviewed cancelled and notice ordered print. he printed it after interview. i asked him clearly when should i expect a decision he said we can’t tell the outcome here in office. i don’t want to give you hope and then something happens… he clearly did what he is allowed to do. he also added, you may get decision in a few days maybe few weeks… my supervisor makes final checks and the decision is given he said all these to be specific and i got case approved notice after about 24H
j
just looking looking2d
he flipped every single page of my i485 application and just read every single line and asked me. i answered the same questions. i think that’s the procedure… he asked basic questions like when you entered the country, where did you live, why did you come to usa…

@just looking looking did they ask u aslyum relative and waht kind of the question ask
j
just looking looking2d
they asked a lot about asylum and honestly, i was like not in green card but asylum interview this happened in the second part of interview. first part focused on i495 questions you know questions like have you been trained to use weapons, are you trained to make biological weapons etc…. second part we did oath again and he said this part is recorded and all questions were about asylum case and my story it was back and forth conversation like an investigation to prove my asylum case is right not fake one
J
Jarmandeep Singh2d
