@SJ My asylum was approved in April 2024, and I applied for my I‑485 in September 2024. On September 16, 2026,I received an update on my asylum case saying “Decision was Mailed.” After that, nothing else has changed.

@SJ Me yup my asylum was approved in August 2025 and i applied for i-485 in august 2026 . Same status change ok 16th sep but i didn’t received any mail yet i research alot they said that’s normal they are just closing our case

same update sep 16 2026. my lawyer says that is possibly a glitch

Same here. My asylum was approved back in 2023, but my old I-589 also shows a new Sep 16, 2026 “Decision Was Mailed” update. I’ve now seen at least 5 people report the exact same thing, and Lawfully shows a huge spike in I-589 “decisions” around that date. This is starting to look like a USCIS bulk system/status refresh of old asylum cases rather than a new decision. Still interesting that many of us also have pending I-485s, so I’m curious if anyone who got this Sep 16 update receives movement on their I-485 afterward.

same here mine was my work permit which was approved back then in 2024 it says decision was mailed but I haven’t received anything yet. I’m like what’s going on I got my approved asylum and my work permit that caried my Asylee status I thought they have approved my passport travel document or my green card application
