Waiting Asylum decision

[assylum]

Asylum, are you sure about this? none of us in this forum are able to check it, have you done it yourself? the uscis told all of us the decision has been made but why it doesn't show on the system , neither we get anything from EOIR number,,

I am sure 100%. All asylees who got approved by USCIS are able to check the status online. The status mentions the EAD approval.

This only applies to asylees who get approved by USCIS not EOIR.

[heyhey]

so what explain our cases ,, decision is made , but it doesn't show on the system, so it means all of us got rejected?

dear heyhey
dont stressed out, nobody knows whats the decision is, try to be postive and optimistic, just sit tight and hope for the best

This means that the officer finished writing the assessment of your case and submitted it to the supervisor for signature. The supervisor will have to sign the decision and then the staff admin have to do the other paper work such as sending mail.

Relax and be patient. Remember that all of us here went through the same situation. Patience is something that you have to learn.

[heyhey]

Thanks for your responses.

Asylum, so the officer send the decision to supervisor only if we are approved ? or no matter he/she approves or deny the case, it will still be sent to supervisor?

thanks

The supervisor signs both approvals and rejections and then the staff admin process the paper work.

[heyhey]

can a supervisor cancel a decision made by an immigration officer?

[assylum]

can a supervisor cancel a decision made by an immigration officer?

Yes, the supervisor has the authority to disagree with the officer's decision.

[BigJoe5]

Asylum is complicated for the Officer no matter what the decision is. They have to do a write-up to justify whatever the descision is AND there is a collaboration among Officers and their supervisors. Some work groups will have a session to discuss all their cases, perhaps daily or weekly. The former INS and now USCIS Adjudicators have a nickname of "paper tigers". That should give you some clue that the whole process is very paper intensive. That takes time to accomplish.

Congratulations,
I am happy for you. The next step is to get unrestricted SS card. Wait few days until you get your EAD category A05 and then take it with you when you go to the social security office to apply for your SS card. Give uscis at least 3 days to update the federal online verification system. If you go immediately on Monday to the SS office, the system may not have your new status yet. This is why I said wait few days until you get your EAD AO5. You shoul get it by mail in few days.

You can check the status of your EAD category AO5 online by using your asylum application receipt number. The status will say " card production ordered or approval notice mailed"

[mafina]

Thank you so much .I will wait to get EAd card . thank you

[LadyLee]

Welcome "awaitasylum" to the club! It's been 10 months here!

[Mr. Bird]

Ladylee, i thought you were posting a success story, how is work though?????????? Been 10months too since initial app, and its..>>>>>>>>still loading........

[awaitasylum]

Hey All,
Thanks for warm welcome. Was insane for a while ,so did not visit the forum.Gosh waiting process is killing.Every morning i get up thinking will not get panic today .But it is next to impossible not to think.Hope we all hear something good.

[hjjez]

Hey Mr. Bird & Lady Lee,

I think we'd been talking in a different thread, haven't we? I was wondering were you both on status by the time you interviewed, right? Have you been waiting for 10 months already! OMG that is really frustrating and scares me. I am on status and I think that is sandbagging the answer. I sent the written inquiry as per the USCIS site indicates, but nothing yet either. As you all said this waiting is painful but we have to stay positive and keep waiting.

I-589 Received 28-Feb-11
Biometrics done 17-Mar-11
Interviewed 28-Mar-11

Today 17-May-11
# of days 78
Day 150 28-Jul-11 (so not there yet)

[Mr. Bird]

hjjez,

I had a two month visa, which expired the week that my I-589 was received, but the type of visa i had would have allowed me to stay for one more month legally even after the expiration. So, I was on status when i applied for asylum, but When i was going for interview i was already out of status. Yes 11 months now and counting. I got used to the waiting, sometimes i don't remember it for a few days...lol

[hjjez]

Thanks Mr. Bird,
But I don't understand I know people that had received answer in less than a month. It is frustrating every time I go to the mail box; I open it full of hope to get disappointed again. If you don't mind, how long took you to get the EAD after applied for it?
