Rustik, I wouldn't be over-worried about citizenship interview. If you think the Government employs ten million people, and watch every asylee on a daily basis, that is damn wrong. On the other hand, do not try to out-smart them by doing something deceptive and stupid. Revoking asylee...

Hey, My recommendation is to go to the nearest UNHCR office (United Nations High Commission for Refugees). If you still have a strong case for credible fear of persecution, there is a chance you will be admitted as a refugee.

It is obviously better travel to COP via RP since in INA 208 (c)2D: the alien has voluntarily availed himself or herself of the protection of the alien's country of nationality or, in the case of an alien having no nationality, the alien's country of last habitual residence, by returning to...

If you are talking about renewing your NP only, go ahead and do it.

Purely travel to COP? I believe there are a couple of Chinese asylees cases decided in 1st and 9th Circuit for the reason mentioned in my previous post. I will post later since it is very hard to single out - Chinese names appear to be all the same. :D My conclusion is: Do not let them...

See attached. Mr. Barany was admitted as asylee and later LPR. He abandoned his status by returned to Iraq for 3 years, and re-applied for asylum. His second asylum application was declined by USCIS and BIA. 2nd Circuit vacated the BIA decision, reasoning that USCIS has to take account of...

It certainly happened: I know (I forgot which circuit) that one Indian guy was removed as his agent pleaded guilty for fraud, then they concluded his asylum application was fraudulent. (His agent was soliciting Indians from New Jersey to California to come to San Francisco to fake their...

Sooner or later, people are going to ask Appeals Court squarely that question. The Court is going to weigh several factors, the similar ones raised in 3rd Circuit. It looks to me that either way it will affect some of the LPR derived from asylee status. If asylee does not lose his status...

See the two attachments. Note asylees are admitted as "immigrants", and after one year they will be "regarded as" permanent residents. Asylee "adjust" their status to LPRs after one year, and the date of residence is one year before AOS, not the date of admission for refugees. I think...

They may give a fuss, but you will be fine. This is a direct quote from my attorney: "There is no statutory wording in the law which says that you can not renew your NP. They just can not easily link this to the "revail yourself with the possibility of establishing permanent residence...

Look at this way: your employment is dependent on whether you are authorized to work in U.S. Therefore, do not take a job which will jeopardize your immigration status in U.S. On the other hand, ask yourself whether your return to COP will lead the Government to easily conclude that you did...

Oh sorry. I did not see your question. It took about 9-10 month. It depends on the local office. Some offices take significantly longer. Just relax, only fraudster and criminals fail.

thankful, As I read this, I guess the court means that since we say he is eligible for AOS, it won't be necessary to talk about asylum case anymore as he will be in another status. Well, maybe I will have my wife to read this again for me.:D Have a nice one.

Thankful, See attached document, 6th Circuit seems to suggest in this case that if AOS happens, asylum issue is no long relevant.... (Page 12, final paragraph) For the reasons discussed above, we GRANT the petition for review, VACATE the immigration court’s decisions, and REMAND for...

Thankful, maybe we are going back to the ground of this problem: Once "adjustment of status" occurs what is the legal basis for USCIS to revoke the underlying asylum for LPR derived from aslyee status, unless they can say that the original asylum claim was fraudulent. If the LPR sustain the...

Thankful, Correct me if I am wrong, but they (USCIS) have NOT been actively revoking asylee status based on change of conditions, although in theory they may do so in the grant of AOS process and asylee's entry of U.S. I think this creates unnecessary chaos among asylees who have...

yes, but he already adjusted status as LPR, so it is governed by the same section (INA 209). I do not think they can revoke his GC without revoking his underlying refugee status (excluding criminals, other inadmissible issues, etc.). By revoking his refugee status they will have a...

If you are talking about "a" visit but not "visits", then the answer is ok. Do not stay there long and it should be fine. None of the cases I worked so far was caused or triggered by "a" visit to COP. Those asylees who got trouble fall into several situations: Their story does not...

my N-400 is marriage based, however, since they will look at your entire immigration file. Asylum issues will trigger no matter what. There was a delay initially, but they just let this whole issue pass after my company contacted its congress liasion office. I had a friend whose N-400 took...

I am (well was) the primary asylee. Of course there were other topics, like my marriage coz the basis was that I married a USC. But that is rock-solid, therefore he just gave that up questioning.:D One issue I will strongly advise against is that do not lie to them about your...
