Hey ! Sorry to hear that. We also applied on March 2018 ! On may we did biometric appointment. Then they transferred the case to Texas service center ( originally was in Nebraska) and since then nothing. Our medical exam also expires in a month. I tried to call them but they told we are in the normal limit of time for processing. Did you try to track your case online ?? What does it says?

Hello Everyone, I also applied in March 2018, My case was originally in Nebraska as well, then it was transferred to the Texas Service Center for faster processing. I have had no changes either. There is nothing you can do at this time but wait. It doesn't make any sense to call them, I go by the processing times on uscis. USCIS is trying to go fully automated, so they will have more times to process cases they say. I am a asylee with a pending green card.

Just saw that processing time for Texas changed to June 2016. Have feelings that this never gonna end. They just keep on switching time backwards instead of forwards

Exactly, I see it too. It goes forward and then backwards. All you have to do is wait. I have been waiting over a year now.

Congrats on your green card!!!
My status didn?t changed.
Applied March 2018
Fingerprints May 2018
Case transferred from Nebraska to Texas on July 2018
And it has been nothing since then.
Keep myself positive.

Same experience here, Applied in the same month and my case transferred same month and year. I agree

Can an asylee travel abroad before getting Green Card?

Asylee are able to travel without restriction with the use of a U.S. Refugee Travel Document (Form I-571) which is used in lieu of a passport. However, if you have a pending Green Card, You will only need your U.S. Refugee Travel Document (Form I-571) to re-enter the United States. However, if you have a criminal record, it is advisable that one seek the services of a licensed attorney at law. I am a Asylee Travel Blogger with rules and requirements for asylees to travel.

Here is my timeline:
asylum granted: Aug 2017
I485 filed: Aug 2018
current status: Fingerprint review completed (it was actually completed on sept 10, 2018)

since then it has been a waiting game. 7 months has already passed by and still nothing..

I have the same status with the same date (February 21, 2019), so probably our cases were travelling in the same truck, lol.
I will keep you posted.

I have the same status. I have both I-730 and I-485 transferred to an asylum office. I filed I-730 in October 2017 and I-485 in March 2018. The I-730 was transferred to Asylum Office in January 2018 while my I-485 was transferred in August 2018. I scheduled appointment with the nearest asylum office and they said both cases are pending and that I have to wait. Spoke to a couple of people and they told me that sending cases to asylum office is rare and would likely prompt further interview. Also my best guess for the transfer is that I filed tax returns in a state (where i went for work) and not my 'home' state. I later changed my address after I was granted asylum and filed both cases with the new address. I now moved into a third sate and filed change of address. So I am waiting for decision in my third state.

Anyway, this is just my guess. All we can do at this time seems to wait. It would also be good idea to approach a lawyer and seek their advise, or may be not?

Good luck to both of you and feel not so much worried because you are not alone (it happens).

I would say don't worry about address change, taxes, etc.
I heard a lot of similar stories and address change never was causing any problems

Guys, question. What is the standard processing time for i-485, after what time you can start calling them?
