    Citizenship Interview - Travel to COP

    Frankly it all depend on your particular officer. Your interviewer can be fine, trusting or you can also find someone who want to double check every little issue and make it all a big deal. So it's all a question of luck on who you end up with. Good luck to you all.

    Interview done on dec 27

    No one besides the aylum officer/supervisor can really evaluate your chances. At least not us simple forum members.

    EAD after getting Asylum in Immigration court

    Your current status is Asylee. And you don't need an EAD anymore. Your driver licence coupled with your unrestricted SSN card is enough to prove your employment eligibility. But, if you feel more comfortable with an EAD for now (no HR questions to answer to), then you can apply for a new EAD...

    (urgent please) medical insurance for old lady with pending asylum case

    That's a very heartbreaking case. The way I see it now, she has two different situations. #1 She needs a health insurance quickly for her rehabilitation cost. #2 She only applied for asylum in September 2016.

    If trump win

    Just a wink to this post! On election day I too was confident that Hillary will win. This is an opportunity for all of us to remember that only God knows the future and everything is possible. Therefore, we should expect the best as well as the worse.
