Asylum I-485 Interview After 3+ Years
Hi everyone,
I’m looking for advice from anyone who has been through a similar situation.
I applied for my asylum-based I-485 (Adjustment of Status) in April 2023. My case was pending for a long time, and I never filed a Writ of Mandamus or sued USCIS.
A few days ago, I received an interview notice. My interview is scheduled in about a month at the USCIS Lawrence, Massachusetts Field Office.
Has anyone had an asylum-based I-485 interview recently in Lawrence, MA?
What kinds of questions did they ask?
How long did the interview take?
How long did it take to receive a decision after the interview?
Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

@Ali Ali I submitted many inquiries before, but nothing happened. Then, about three months ago, I contacted my senator, and they reached out to USCIS. USCIS replied that my case was still under review. Last week, I emailed the senator’s office again and asked them to send a follow-up. I think that might be why my case finally started moving.
