decision pending
I'm still waiting for a response to my asylum interview from USCIS. It's been 8 months (April 30, 2025) since the interview, and as you know, all decisions are currently on hold. Has anyone here, by any chance, received a response since the government paused the decisions?

@Angélica Velazco I’m very sorry but you will not get any decision until the pause for the ban countries have been lifted Venezuela it’s one of the banned countries sadly

did you do the interview with your Anthony or you went there alone
Angélica VelazcoJan 7, 2026
@paul zelio Are you referring to an attorney? No, I went alone with my husband.
Angélica VelazcoJan 7, 2026
@vi_34567 345 Yes, that's why I asked if anyone had happened to receive a response during this pause. My mother had her marriage interview in November and received her green card in December. I don't know if that process is also on hold or if she was just lucky.

I did the first interview in sept 2025 and Jan 2026 I was called again for additional questions. I don't know y but I've heard sometimes it's done.

@Da k One question, when they interviewed you again, was it with the same officer? And was the interview similar to the first one?
Da kFeb 7, 2026
