I-485 Based on Granted Asylum – 685 Days and Still Waiting
Hi everyone
I’m wondering if anyone is in a similar situation.
I filed my I-485 based on a granted asylum case about 685 days ago, and I’m still waiting for a decision.
I filed at NYC
My timeline:
* Asylum granted by Immigration Judge: August 2024
* I-485 filed: November 2024
* Biometrics: December 4, 2024
* RFE: None
* Since the biometrics update, there have been absolutely no updates on my case.
* Current status: Case Is Being Actively Reviewed / fingerprints applied (depending on how it displays in the system)
I contacted a USCIS live agent online today to ask where my case is currently being processed. They told me:
“The case is at the National Benefits Center. Your case is processing normally and nothing further is required from you at this time.”
So apparently my case is still at NBC.
It has now been 685 days since I filed, and the wait has honestly been very long and frustrating.
Is anyone else in a similar situation, especially those who filed around October–December 2024?
Are your cases also still at NBC with no RFE and no updates since biometrics?
I’d really appreciate it if you could share your timeline, especially your filing date, biometrics date, current office, and whether you’ve received any updates.
Thanks!

my suggestion is you should call uscis center for more details. online agent is really unreliable and not responsible for your case status. I used to chat with online agents, one question was made, and I could got two different answers.

@Flying Kite I think you could call uscis center to check where your case is located , if your case is indeed at NBC. file a wom.

@Danny Zhang Thanks

@Flying Kite Online customer service is totally useless! My case moved to the NY Field Office on Aug 21, but an agent told me a week later it was still at NBC, giving me dynamic anxiety for nothing. They don't even check your file before typing! I finally just called USCIS, and the phone agent was super helpful—they looked into the system and confirmed it’s in NY.

I got the same response from Live agent as well, like your case is at nbc, it is in normal process, no further requirement needed etc.
