    Fees

    Hello,
    I came to the US in January 2015 legally with an F-1 VISA, I was inspected by an immigration officer at the port of entry and given an I-94 Number.
    I filled for Political Asylum 5 months after entering the US. My Asylum is still pending. I went for my Biometric appointment for my asylum application and since then I haven't heard from them. I went to the Asylum office last month to check my case and they told me that I have not yet been scheduled for an interview.
    I met my wife(she is a US citizen) at school, we felt in love and started dating in June 2015, I proposed to her in December 2015 and we got married in June 2016.
    We filed for an Adjustment of status in August 2016, the whole package I-130, I-485, lifesWork authorization and Travel Document. I went to my biometric appointment for this new application.
    I receive my working authorization card and travel document in October 2016.
    We also went to our interview at the USCIS office in Downtown Los Angeles in November 2016.
    During the interview, we were together, my wife and I. The officer asked us different questions about lives, relationship, plans for the future and at the end he asked questions about my Asylum application.
    He told us that he was going to approve our application because everything in our marriage seems genuine and bona fide.
    Then he advises me to withdraw my asylum application so that it will make things easy for him to approve our I-485, Then I told him that I read on on website online that withdrawing my asylum application before my I-485 is approved can jeopardize my adjustment of status. Then he said that I should wait for him to review the asylum application, then he was going to approve my I-485.
    We left his office very confident because he said we should be receiving an approval letter in the mail within 3 weeks.
    It has been 5 weeks now and he hasn't received any notice and the status of my application online has not changed, it still talks about my interview date.
    I am writing here today to know if there is anyone who has ever gone through a similar process and what is the best thing to do?
    Should I withdraw my asylum application or just wait until I hear from them.
    I took an Info-pass appointment today, went to the USCIS office and I was told by this guy looking on a computer that the officer has not yet reviewed my asylum application.
    Any advice would be appreciated.
    Thanks
