nope you should wait at least two years otherwise they gonna file motion to dismiss… it depends on what circuit state you live in is that i730 based?

18 months you’re good.. I’ve seen people do it at 15-16 months and got approved.

How long you waited to file I-485 after your asylum approval is a big factor too. It is not only about the application duration so if you’re about two years into your asylee status, wom can be effective. I say this because you would agree that 12 months pending I-485 for someone who waited one year to file and someone who filed immediately after asylum approval are not the same thing.

@God did before they do but mine is 22 months and i got motion to dismiss uscis said 34 months process time and you need still more wait

@prab s i got same response, govt filed mtd mine 22 months. did you file opposition?

@Stampft Kleid yes I waited 13 months after asylum to file for I-485. so total 2 years roughly. i am also thinking to take my chances in January after the new congress

y’all were just not lucky. there are people who did it at 15-18 months and got approved. check previous posts

@w hope @prab s i think it might be because of the trump’s administration. i am hopeful that things might change after January

@alev sharma i did the same my asylum was approved in February 2023 and i applied green card in June 2025’ today after almost 17 months i got updated that uscis review my i-485 and case is ready for interview’ i didn’t filled any wom or inquiry’ it happened by itself’ i will suggest you to wait little more’ everything will be on your side

@God did if you don’t mind, may I ask where and when did they get approved?

@alev sharma I know its frustrating but be patience, just wait 7,8 months more after this you can apply....its still too early. May God make it easy for everyone

@mm ss yo my case is similar to yours but I filed the i485 right after one year of my asylum granted my asylum granted march 2023 I filed the i485 march 2024 fingerprints were taken April 2024 and September 2026 case is ready to schedule an interview and still waiting nothing further charges but I’m about to file wom if things don’t changes in this month

you need to wait few more months

Everything depends on your location. I'm going to file on January when I hit the 18 months in San Diego, CA. but you can check on Google or ChatGPT how is doing the Federal Circuit correspondent to your address. For example the 11th circuit on Florida has been saying lack of jurisdiction on a couple different cases of Mandamus for Asylum GC. that means they don't even care how long you've been waiting. So check how is your circuit dealing with the lack of jurisction and compare your situation with those cases also I honestly think the "pro-se" era it's over. their fighting back I read every comment related to mandamus and it's very differente and people just post the positive results. there's a lot of people getting dismissed cases and they don't post nothing about it but they replied on comments

@Arm G yes you r right I was about to file WOM here in Indiana 7th c but there was a case this year su vs uscis judge said lack of jurisdiction and they have discretion so it doesn’t work everywhere

@Arm G very helpful, thank you

@prab s Mine has been 24 months and today my attorney called me and let me continue to wait since Approximately 35 months processing time. and not going to file WOM this next months.are you going to file WOM again or until when

@prab s im going to fight bcz i have hardship and also when I applied processing time is only 12 to 13 months and this is not our fault right now is 34 months processing time if they going to be 50 months what we can do then so if your 24 months you need to do it bcz when 26,27 months they receive approval

@Ak . Yes I've seen Indiana it's hard but we should try at least so somebody can notice there is a huge increase of Mandamus and maybe they noticed that USCIS is not approving without the WOM. has been a couple weeks without any approvals on the community.

@Flying Kite same here. I have a financial hardship, I lost my CDL due the federal regulations and everything has been going worst and worst. the only way I can grt back my CDL is showing the GC to the DMV so I can get the upgrade. Already tried congressman, senator, two expedites. this week I'll be contacting the Ombudsman that it's gonna be similar to nothing but I want to have everything on record that I tried hard until the last resort

@prab s it heavily depends on where you live and which circuit you fall under… because I don’t wanna say it but some federal judges in some circuits are saying they ain’t got jurisdictions and that’s just 😞 because I was about to file WOM then I found SU vs uscis look it up in 7th

@Arm G what circuit you in ?

@Ak . yes i got judge jurisdiction uscis said judge have not power to approve your case and tell to uscis its unreasonable processing time

@Ak . 9th
