“Decision Mailed” one year after approval?
Hi, On September 2, 2025, my asylum application was approved and my status in that receipt has been New Card Mailed since then. I received my I94 stamped and the whole thing. This year I applied for the I485. Today I receive an update on my original receipt that says “Decision was mailed”, which is weird. I have already received my decision more than a year ago. Should I be worried?

I received the same email again today. I think it is either a glitch in the system, or they reviewed the file in preparation for the green card interview. But I am not 100% sure

same here! do you all have a pending I-485 application? I do and it seems like they are doing a review of all immigration applications/benefits from the past to determine eligibility for GC approval.

I dug a little deep into this. it seems like it is a mass update/data migration. I saw some people who have been US citizens for 10 years have received the same update. fingers crossed all is well.

I have contacted Emma and they told me if you returned a card recently, and I did return my EAD after receiving green card that might be the case

this is so stressing…I went looking in tiktok and saw a video of someone saying that USCIS is putting a pause on processing asylum/refugee green card applications starting yesterday but I’m thinking and hoping it’s not an accurate information. really hope it’s a glitch

My case is the same. My asylum was approved in January 2025, and I filed my I-485 application for permanent residence in September 2025. On September 16, I received the exact same email. Today, I was finally able to speak with a USCIS agent by phone, and he confirmed that a letter was indeed sent. However, he could not tell me the contents of the letter or what the decision was because there was no additional information available to him other than a note stating that a letter containing a decision had already been mailed. I also asked him about my A5 work permit, and he said there were no comments or updates regarding it. As for my permanent residence application, he told me that it still shows as being in process. So, in conclusion, the only thing I was able to confirm is that this is not a glitch, but I still have no information beyond that. This whole situation is so frustrating.
