My asylum interview after 3 weeks
- Thread starter alex987
- Start date
The next step is to apply for unrestricted SS card. Wait few days because sometimes it takes one week for the online verification system to be updated.
USCIS will send you EAD category A05 within few days. Take that EAD and the I-94 to the SSA office to get unrestricted SS card.
Thank you everybodyi already have my SS. So now , i am just gonna wait until my EAD right ?And how about Financial aid ? Can i get it or i have to wait ?
You don't need an EAD. All you need is an unrestricted SSN and a Gov't/State issued photo ID for employment. You can apply for financial aid right away.
Congrats!!
Wooow!!!! Am so happy for you alex, you have been very humble in this forum and been wishing you luck. I am so so grateful that u got approved. I keep waiting for my decision, pray for me man.

Hi,
Can F-1 student being in valid status apply for asylum and get apporval? The law says if the applicant in valid status, has to be denied.
Were you in good legal valid status before you applied?
Thank you!

Which law says that? I never heard that before! I applied to asylum, and I am in legal status in the US, and that's the case of several people in this forum who already have been approved.
the USCIS website says "You may apply for asylum status regardless of how you arrived in the United States or your current immigration status"
Some people says that if you are in legal status, the desicion will take longer. But my lawyer says that's completly false.

Yes, you can apply for asylum and get approval. All you need is to demonstrate a well founded fear of persecution if you return to your COP. The fear, in your situation, must be brought about by a change in circumstances back in your COP leading to your fear of persecution. Otherwise if you do not prove the change and offer a clear justification, you will be denied immediately. If you are still within one year since you entered USA, you are at an advantage because you can easily justify why you applied F1 and not asylum in the first place. (All this information is available on this forum in different posts, read through all threads if you are in need of help)..

DO you guys think they enough?
THanks!

Hi.
I believe you have more than enough. You will be granted asylum. I am confident.
Don't freak out during the interview. If you have solid evidence submitted before, an officer will not be pressuring you.

Hi.
For Medicaid, food stamps and cash assistance you go to a local Family department. In my city it is called FSSA.
If you are older than 65, for supplemental security income you go to a local Social Security Administration.

Thank you so much for your reply. What would be a good reason to return after the persecution? Because one time I returned and got persecute again. I left the country in 11 days, cause I was so scared!
