Replied last May 29, 2023I am sorry to read that you felt this way after being with our firm for six years. I remember your case and like we do with all of our pending asylum applications before USCIS, we indeed tried to expedite the case but USCIS didn't approve the expedite request. There is a long backlog of asylum applications and it is common knowledge that there are applications from 2014 and 2015 which are waiting for interviews after more than seven years long wait. We also tried our best to help you with your work authorization application by giving timely advice. We wish you success in all your future endeavors!
