No, it's not. I called their Embassy and was told that i will need my national passport, although the lady on the phone didn't sound very knowledgeable. but i don't have my national passport, it's part of the reason why i've been granted asylum.

I am an asylee. I've received my traveling document, but i don't have a valid national passport. I am trying to go to Ukraine. Do i need to have a national passport to get a visa? or do i use my travel document as my main form of identification?

thanks for the answer. is that true that receiving food stamps might somehow jeopardize my chances of getting GC in a year, as the previous post suggests?

My asylum case has been recently approved. I heard that there are certain benefits that come with it. One of them is financial aid. It might as well be a rumor, but i thought i'd ask. I heard that as an asylee i would be eligible for $400/week. Please, let me know, i can definitely use some...

Thankful, yeah, i saw the requirements. i guess as Assylee suggested, the only plausible solution for me would be to get that EAD...

thanks tons for the answers. just wanted to add that i already have a social security number. i don't know if that helps. and, also, i will be in california by then

I just applied for political asylum. My driver's license expires at the end of this year. will i be able to renew my license? Another things is that i won't have a valid passport (part of the reason why i am applying for political asylum in the first place). Let me know, Thanks

Thank you so much for your reply. I guess i will have to talk to the attorney if i even should be mentioning my initial intention of going the H1B route. Originally, I didn't want the hassle that comes with applying for political asylum. I thought that by the time i graduate, things in my...

I have been legally in the states for 4 years. I came on J1 visa and then switched to F1. I will be finishing school this summer. My plan was to apply for OPT, then H1B visa and ultimately Green Card. However, after sending in my passport for extension, i learned that there is a warrant out for...

was just wondering ...with all the hype around the immigration issue, is it going to be hard to get a work visa and then become a resident?

so, to reiterate what you said...this coming April (April, 1st 2008) is when they start receiving applications...and within couple weeks the quota is usually filled in...am i following you right? so if i am planning on graduating either spring or summer of '08...can i still apply by April 1st...

Hey there, i am on F-1. planning on graduating either spring or summer of '08. My I-20 form says that i am expected to graduate no later than 12/20/2007; however, my F-1 says that i am in good standing as long as i am in school. i know it's probably not a big deal to extend it for another...

yes, i had my work permit for the time i got the 1099s for. i freaked out because i read on quite a few web sites that F-1 students are not supposed to receive their compensation as independent contractors. i perused through the entire internet to find a definitive answer but it seems like there...

i have been in the states for a little less than three years. i am on f-1 visa. been trying to stay in status; however, my sponsor lost his business and i had to get work authorization to work off campus. for a couple months in 2005 and beginning of 2006 i received 1099s. now i am afraid i am in...
