Greetings All, I have heard from my Attorney that our background check was cleared, and that our status has been changed from "Recommended Approval" to "Grant of Asylum", my question is this: Once we receive our letter from the BCIS, what is the next step? Our Attorney says that our new I-94...

Here is my experience in terms of the timing, not out of the woods yet, still a long way to go, hopefully this might help some of you out there. Isn't this forum an excellent idea? Arrived in USA December 2002 Applied Asylum end of February 2003 Interviewed end of June 2003 Recommended...

Greetings All, As you know I received "Recommeded Approval". I have applied for the EAD, and should receive it by the end of the month. My question is: Once I have the EAD what is the next step? Do I go to the local Social Security Office to get my SSN or do I just start looking for...

Gilbert, Thank you for your advice, your knowledge in these matters is respected. I have sent off my my EAD based on receiving "recommended approval". I will keep the forum posted as to further developments. Thank you once again :)

Just an interesting observation: after receiving recommended approval, it is clear that we apply for an EAD. This will allow legal work to be carried out. My question is this: With recommended approval whilst awaiting the EAD, is it permissable and legal to be allowed to start your own small...

Greetings to you all, the best news arrived for me today! I received news from the INS that my application has received a recommended approval. What exactly does this mean? Can anyone help me with what happens next? Do I still need to apply for an EAD or based on this recommended approval can I...

Is it possible while an application is pending, and an EAD has been granted for the applicant to start his/her own income generating small home business? Or does the EAD only allow such an applicant awaiting case outcome to work in a regular job? Anyone have any ideas on this matter?

Thank you for your post. The reason for so much evidence is that according to all the information online it was suggested to supply as much information on my country and the problems being experienced. All of that information was not directly mine, but it was used to augment my case. My own...

I would like to ask you if you have heard of any cases that have been filed this year, have had fingerprints and interview processed, whether there has been any grant of Asylum as yet. I applied for Asylum in February this year, and had the fingerprints done, followed the same week by the INS...

Greetings Room, I have two questions: Is there anyone who has arrived in the Country this year, been fingerprinted, interviewed and granted Asylee Status? Once granted Asylee Status, what is the next step? Thank you for your help and advice...

I was wondering if there is anyone out there who has been fingerprinted, and had your interview in the last month. Have you heard from the BCIS (formely INS...), regarding your case? Has anyone been notified yet as to whether you have been granted Asylum or denied the Status of Asylee? Please be...

I was checking the official website of the Social Security Department, and there I found that I can apply for a SSN which will be marked "Legal Alien, NOT alllowed to work". This type of SSN can be used to obtain a legal Driving License according to their Website. I have already passed the...

Yes the visa has expired, but I believe whilst in proceedings and awaiting the INS outcome, an extension is not necessary...is this correct?

Hi Room, I would like to know how we all survive while waiting for the INS outcome on an application. We know work is not allowed, so during the 180 days how have you survived? Is there any form of assistance available to Asylum Seekers while outcomes are pending? How do you live, how do you...
