    No lud i485

    Do not pay too much attention to the online status because CLAIMS 3 system does not always update the online application status. To get the most updated status of your I-485 application, you will have to schedule an infopass appointment to talk to an immigration information officer because...

    Travel outside the US with GC but afraid to trigger the 3 year bar when returning

    The inadmissibility bar section 212(a)(9)(B) does not apply to you anymore because it was waived when your I-485 application got approved.

    Waiting for GC based on Asylum Approval

    Some applicants get interview and some don't. It depends on the case and the background check results (FBI rapsheet, IBIS name check, FBI name check, prior ICE arrests, etc). Your file usually gets assigned to an adjudicator when the background check is complete. The adjudicator then will make...

    Advance Parole ( AP )

    It is not a good idea to leave unless your trip is very necessary. POE officer might reject your entry even if you have your AP on hand. Also, there are rules about asylum approval process while the applicant is outside the country. Consult an immigration lawyer and ask him/her about those...

    about the EAD

Asylum case decisions are in RAPS system not in CLAIMS3 system. You will have to go to the asylum office and tell them that you got EAD AO5 category. Ask to...

    RTD reentering USA after illegal presence for a long time.

    The worst thing that can happen to you is you will go through a secondary inspection where they will ask you few questions. This happens to a lot of people including me. You should not worry if your trip is short (no COP), your RTD is valid, and you have no criminal records. Do not renew your NP...

    RTD reentering USA after illegal presence for a long time.

    You have nothing to worry about. Your immigration history is clean. Keep in mind that a random secondary inspection at the POE is normal and you should not worry about it if your trip is very short and you have a valid RTD and your trip is not to COP. Remember that you can not renew your...

    RTD reentering USA after illegal presence for a long time.

    Asylees and green card holders will most likely go through a secondary inspection if they were in a removal proceeding in the past or they had (ICE arrest records) in the past. This is normal because their names remain in the system and the officers at the POE had limited access to dig for more...

    AOS pending for 2 years - is this normal?

    First, you will need to know the cause of the delay. You can do this by contacting your congressman. The USCIS congressional unit will respond to your congressman within one week. If the response says that your case is on hold due to 212(a)(3)(b), then you you will have to wait until DHS grants...
