What it means for your I-881

Your NACARA interview is done but no decision was given. Asylum offices often mail decisions later, sometimes asking you to return to pick them up. The officer may need supervisor review or more background checks. The result can be a grant or, if not granted, a referral to immigration court.

In general, on any form:

You had your interview and the officer did not make a final decision that day. Your file needs more review, a supervisor check, or a pending background step. This is common and is not a denial. Some cases are decided within days, others take months.

Avoid these mistakes

Panicking because no decision was given at the interview.
Forgetting to send documents the officer asked for.
