Waiting over a year after an interview and RFE response is definitely outside the norm, but unfortunately it lines up with what's happening right now with asylum-based adjustment cases specifically. Since late 2025, USCIS has paused final decisions on asylum applications, and that pause has a spillover effect on asylum-based I-485 cases as well. On top of that, USCIS is conducting enhanced vetting and re-review of cases tied to asylum, which means files are being held for additional security checks or supervisory review before a final decision is issued. At this point I'd recommend filing a service request and maybe contacting your congressman's office for an inquiry. If things don't move, a mandamus action is worth considering. Cases like this sometimes only move once outside pressure is applied. If you have any other questions, feel free to ask them in our next Lawfully office hours session! - Attorney Daniel Son (All information shared here is for general educational purposes only.
