User Question: Hello, how long does it take to get your asylum interview decision after your interview? Is it normal to wait more than 2 years? Please advise what to do if that happens to you. Thanks.
Expert Answer: Asylum interview decisions can take weeks, months, or even years, depending on the USCIS asylum office backlog. Waiting more than 2 years is not uncommon. If your case is delayed, you can submit a **case inquiry** through USCIS, contact the **Ombudsman**, or file a **mandamus lawsuit** to force a decision. Consulting an immigration attorney can also help explore your options.
