Njamame: How did you get your derivative asylum? There are two routes; one is through your parents. and the other one is through your espouse. Since you got married, I think you got your asylum through your parents. If this is the case, and you married, and you told your new status to the USCIS, then you will not be able to adjust. So there is need for some extra-information on your side...njamame said:
My reflection on Nunc Pro Tunc ( A black hole in Immigration)
- Thread starter faysal
- Start date
Faysal question for you.. What is this process you are going through for?
From your signature you indicated you got asylum in 2000, so why are you now going for another interview?
Very confusing... is it because of your divorce and you were a derivative applicant? thanks

To Faysal
I have my asylum through my parents. However, my understandins is that if you have a derivative asylee status (regardless how it was obtained) and you age out (still applying to some applicants), marry (if you have your asylum from your parents) or divorce (if you were married to the principal applicant) in order to adjust your status you need to file a nunc pro tunc application. In my case I did all of the right things - checked with my lawyer before I got married and he said I will have no issues with it. Look where I am now... finding out that my green card application may be denied because I got the wrong advise. Even worse - I am concerned over the nunc pro tunc process - not sure if it is such a formality anymore...
I guess at this point I am trying to see where would be the best place for me to file NPT - Chicago or Arlington. I am supposed to move soon and am trying to figure out where I will have less hassle with the process and it will be less waiting time for me. Also, from what I understand if I get a nunc pro tunc approval I can notify USCIS and not have to file another green card application. Can someone please let me know if this is true?
Thank you in advance.

Mr/Ms: Njamame: I can’t really tell you whether you need to file Nunc Pro Tunc or not, but the process is not that bad. It is a delay though. Now, if you have applied for I-485 and it is still pending, and you need to do NPT USCIS will not deny your application, but they will transfer it to local asylum office. If everything is ok, the asylum office will grant your NTP. Then you will need to forward your NTP approval to USCIS so that they can resume processing your I-485.
My case if you follow my time line, my Nunc Pron Tunc was approved, I sent my approval of NPT to Nebraska, they told me that they are processing my I-485. I didn’t have to do it again.
Another note, if you really have the gut feeling that you need to file nunc pro tunc it is good idea to file it now. It is not big deal. I missed to do it earlier, and that is why I am still pending. If you do it now, the process will be faster.
Also if you marry, and you want your wife to derive from you deravitive asylum, that would be a new asylum. You won’t qualify for NPT. You will do asylum from a new…good luck..

All you need to take seriously in this notice is the date, time and place of the appointment. The rest is plain BS! Good luck!

Thanks! I'm sitting quietly and doing nothing at this point. I need the case to drag on till mid-July. The reason is I'm getting married in the end on June and change my last name. In case the NSC issues the card with my current name, I will have tp pay $260.- for the replacement and who knows how long it's going to be. So, I'd rather wait until I can provide documents showing legal name change. Besides, it makes no difference to me if my I-485 aprroved a few months later. The date of marriage has much more relevance for citizenship application - I plan to apply though marriage(my fiancee is a native-born USC) and it will save me a lot of time.

Do you still get to keep your nun pro Tunc status if you get married while waiting for nun pro Tunc interview ?
