User Question: Am Filipino. I just need help po with regards to my situation. I applied for asylum last month and got an interview on September 17. The officer told me to pick up the decision on October 1. But this morning, they mailed me that the decision pick-up was canceled and they will give the decision through mail. Are there any concerns about shifting?

Expert Answer: It is not uncommon for USCIS to change the decision delivery method from in-person pick-up to mail. This does not necessarily indicate a problem with your case. Many asylum decisions are now sent via mail due to administrative changes or security reasons. Ensure your mailing address is correct and monitor your mail closely. If you do not receive the decision within a few weeks, you can follow up with the asylum office.
