The interview itself varies from one IO to other. But I can only tell you one thing, know the story in and out, you dont have to memorize dates, but you are expected to know the timeline of the story really well. Good luck.

I had judge Chen in the immigration court in NYC, federal plaza building. I dont remember the name of the prosecutor, but the whole thing took about 20 minutes. The lawyer and the prosecutor agreed that the lawyer would not ask me any questions, and the prosecutor would proceed to...

AS6 = Principal Asylee AS7 = Derivative Asylee (Spouse) AS8 = Derivative Asylee (Children/Dependents) They all share the same rights and responsabilities, the only difference is that AS7 and AS8 may be able to travel back to COP without any problem. (Check with your lawyer)

What you need is called a Refugee Travel Document. You need to file the I-131 form, it currently taking about 3 months for processing. See the Asylum section of the forum, you'll find tons of information.

As of visiting your home country, there is a huge controversy going on about the subject. The conclusion is that you should be able to go and come back without any major problem, however at the time of citizenship interview the IO might give you a hard time about this, so be prepared to...

Asylum can be granted on the basis of sexual tendencies, religious or political practices among others, I believe once someone is granted asylum it really does not make a difference on what grounds you were granted asylum for adjustment purposes.

Correct, same situation here. To file I-485 she has to comply with two requirements, one years since grant of asylum AND one year of physical presence in the U.S. She is an derivative asylee since your petition for her was approved, but she needs to fulfill the other requirement as well.

Thank you guys, just for the record I didnt get any LUDs on the days before I was approved; had checked two days getting approved and LUD was the same. Now with GC another set of questions come; travel with NP,RTD,RP? Go or not to COP? etc etc... Before the Real ID Act was signed it was...

I was the lucky one. ND2005 in NSC approved! See my timeline for details..

I visited a neighbor country last summer, and came back without any problems at port of entry.

We are in the same boat. I am also an ND05 with all the preliminary processing completed, I've filed several inquiries with my senator and I've always gotten the same response "Your case is complete, and they are processing 2001 cases". I think that is too soon by USCIS standards for us to...

I've got a call from senator's office about my processing, according to them my fingerprints and namecheck have passed, and they have received my medical; but NSC is processing 2001 and it could take quite a while before they even touch my case. Now, a lot of people I know whose cases were...

I think your friend should not lie at the port of entry, is he is caught lying the IO might just send him back to his country.

This guy PARDS is getting free advertisement here..please ban him

I think the one year requirement still applies to you, regardless of your current status. I say this because I entered the country as an F-1 student, and still the one year requirement got my case referred to an IJ directly. You don't "need" a lawyer to file a asylum application, in fact, I...

I was just there last week, they do recognize your asylum as a proof for "permanent" residency, but without the I-94 they will not issue you a new license. So, the way I see it you have these options: 1) Wait until you get I-94. 2) Drive to Canada (8 hrs), get a new I-94 coming back -...

You need an RTD, once you are approved then you can use a re-entry permit, which is valid for 2 years.

Nebraska is taking way longer than Texas. :( Congrats Cl_asylee

I would not go as far as to say that "we all" will be approved, but it is a good sign, and definetely things are moving way faster than before. Can't complain.
