You are welcomeI deeply appreciate all those who shared their experience in this post since it helped all of us get an idea about the wait time on both centers.
No brother there is no indication about the process after they receive our medicals. It just says that 'as we get your i-693 we will resume processing of your i-485 and send you our decision'Awesome! Good luck
Good luck my friend! I deeply hope your will get your GC very soon. I think if your case is processed now, it means that TSC is speeding up.
Thats my hope too. But there is a concern that the backlog will increase when Dreamers, TPS, and farmer workers will start apply for GC in the next few weeks. They might even give them priority over asylees.
Generally, you don't have to have a work permit. Asylees area allowed to work without EAD, all what you need to do is submit your social security card that you received after being granted asylum, and I-94 for your employer. However, some people feels more safe if they have a valid work permit, and in that case you have to apply and pay the full fees.
What kind of trouble? As an asylee you have the right to work without work permit. And your ssn is unrestricted. If you have a certain concern it is better to consult an attorney.
No one asks about the work permit, they ask only for an ID and ssn
The thing is my driver license is going to expire next month too same as my work payment date and I cannot renew it what I should do? They connected the expiration date of the Driver license with my work permit
Where do you live? In what state I mean...
Just take your SSN card and I-94 to renew it. You might want to take the asylum approval letter with you in case the DMV staff do not have enough information. If they ask you whether you have an EAD or not just say no. Show them the approval and explain that you do not need an EAD as an asylee (it’s written in your approval
Go to DMV with I-94, don’t show anyone the EAD or they will take the easy pass and associate the DL expiry to EAD, when you show them I-94 your file will be processed at the legal presence department in Sacramento and they really know their stuff well there. No need to worry, just do like I said and you will be fine.
Thats very good point, even if you have a valid EAD don't show it to them, just show your asylum i-94, your unrestricted ssn, and your asylum approval letter. If you dont have unrestricted ssn apply to it ASAP.
But i think they will ask me to go to the nearest DMV from my home
Thats correct, however, DHS created a new id system called REAL ID, and California is compliant with that new id system. That means when he wants to renew his dl, California DMV should send his paper to DHS to verify his status and assign expiration date accordingly. DHS will need couple of weeks to review the documents and then it will send a letter to respond to Ca DMV that the applicant is eligible for the ID with 5 or 6 years validity.
