Hi guys! (Corrected date errors)
I’ve been avidly following these threads to put myself at ease as I was prepping for my hearing and I know how much they help so I thought I would share my experience:
I sought Asylum August 2020
Submitted BOC and all in quarantine.
Was asked to submit all my supporting documents for the less complex claims process Dec 2020.
Then I was asked to come for a hearing today (20 April) at the end of February.
My lawyer thought I needed more evidence so I sent in stuff 2 weeks ago.
Then yesterday we noticed some mistakes and submitted corrections to my documents.
I had my hearing today and it lasted an hour. We took a 15 minute break and by then I knew the outcome coz things had been going smooth. After the break she (the member) told me she was ready to make a decision and it was positive and she read her reasons and we celebrated!
It has been such a gruesome wait. The anxiety of sending more documents. Having conflicting opinions with my lawyer on that and just worrying about the what if but it paid off. My advice to all those waiting is BE PREPARED! Members know your situation very well and they expect the same of you. Do the work guys and have faith! Thank you to everyone who has shared on the forum too.

Congratulations but wondering did you get the claimant id? if yes so when and how as there are many people who submitted in march April 2020 they even didn't get claimant id yet? wondering you attend the hearing ..
Hello everyone,
I had a virtual hearing on April, 20 at 9:00 a.m.
It was a very difficult and breathtaking moment. The member was so serious and accurate. He asked me thousands of questions about my education, job, family, religion and happenings. He asked exactly about each Sentence in my narration letter.
We started at 9 to 10:10, then 10 min break, we started again at 10:20 to 11:20 a.m.
After 20 min break, Fortunately, he gave us a positive decision.
Timeline: (20 months)

Congratulations! You may have felt like it was a gruesome wait but you went through one of the fastest processing I have seen in a while. Covid has certainly helped get through the backlog of cases especially the less complex cases. Many others have routinely waited 2-3 years and still may be waiting.
it is quite normal my friend attended 2 hearings too in January and both hearings were more than 3 hours with 10 minutes break.. but finally he got positive decision after 2 weeks
Congratulation, got the NOD in two weeks is very quick, lucky you are. Best wishes for your future
