No Title Hi Alanapero, Hi annv. Thanks for the advice. To answer your question Alanpero, I filed my I-485 application in Dec-98. I had filed in Nov 98 but they sent it back because it was missing something. The receit that I got from INS says Dec 98 too. For some reason my case # starts with...

I am applying for asylum for my wife. One of the supporting documents is not in English. I have translated that (since I know that language really well)and then got it notarized. (the notary did not "verify" the translation) but am not sure if that would be acceptable to the INS. Do I...

No Title Can you please tell us whether or not you were in status (visa had not expired) at the time when you applied for asylum and at the time when you were called in for an interview. Do you think that it makes any difference (as long as you are within the one year) Thanks, Jameel

No Title Thanks. Actually my question was that does INS even provide you the option to choose between "prompt" interview or "delayed" interview.

No Title I need some advice. My wife\'s lawyer told us that when we file for her asylum, we will have two options: 1) Request for a prompt interview, in which case the interview will be held within a month or two of filing the application. 2) Not request for a prompt interview, in which case...

No Title Thanks a lot for your advice Jack. It always feels good to get advice from knowledgeable people like yourself, Alanpero, Gilbert and the other people on this forum. One more question. Is it preferable to file the petition for asylum while a person is in status (I am aware of the 1...

I have a question. I am considering applying for asylum for my wife. She has been persecuted in her home country by the same people/groups that has persecuted me in the past. Her reason for persecution was that she is my wife (we married 2 years after I was granted asylum but were engaged when I...

No Title I "think" he had filed in the California Service center. He did not know why he was called for 2 interviews. At the time of his first interview, he was told the same story about 10 thousand visas/year. The documents they asked for at the interview were his passport(which was...

No Title Alanpero, I finally got to talk to this guys (he had been on vacation). This is what he told me: Applied for I-485: June,1997 Called for Ist interview: Feb,2000 Called for 2nd interview: Feb,2001 Note: He was called for fingerprinting each time (before the interviews) At the time...

This guy got his Green card a few months ago I just talked to a person who had applied for his Green card in June-97. He got his Green card a few months (2-3) ago. He told me that the Green card mentions that it was issued to an asylee. I will talk to him in detail and post whatever information...

No Title Thanks for the advice Jack. I am an asylee (granted in 97) but the reason I am not sure about applying for derivative asylum for my wife is that as far as my understanding goes, you need to have been married at the time you were granted asylum. I got married in 2000. I might be wrong...

Hi Jack, Alanpero, Gilbert, I was wondering if you guys could help me with some advice...as you always do. I hope my questions do not sound redundant on this forum. I am planning to apply for my wife\'s asylum. She is on J-1 (exchange visitor) status and has been in the US for 4 months...

No Title Thank you so much Jack and Gilbert. People like you guys make this world a better place to live in.
