Subject: I-485 (Asylum-based) Case Update – 740 Days
Hi everyone! I wanted to share my case update with the Lawfully community so others facing long delays know where things stand:
Bullet Case Type: I-485 (Asylum-based - asylum granted by an Immigration Judge over 1 year ago).
Bullet Total Days: Today marks 740 days (about 2 years) since filing.
Bullet Inquiries Made: Previously submitted a Congressional inquiry, followed by a Senatorial inquiry through Senator Chuck Schumer’s office.
Bullet USCIS Response: The Senator's office reported that the case is at the National Benefits Center (NBC) and being reviewed via the LETS system, but returned a standard "within normal processing times" response.
Has anyone else experienced this kind of response after a Senatorial inquiry? At 740 days, is it time to consider filing a Writ of Mandamus? Would appreciate any insights or shared experiences. Thank you!
