to say you know for sure, that is just plain arrogance. did you know his whole story? are you sure 100% that every possible case that appears to be ineligible will not have a work around? yea mom and simon are experienced but my only suggestion is for him to explore more. if it doesn’t seem to...

lol i know, but then again, we never know for sure. what you “fixed” for me could be true to most attorneys and that you guys think a flat out no might be best for him is totally practical. but if it were for me, i would appreciate to know other options even though it’s close to impossible...

i agree! she goes above and beyond just to help the community.

based on the information he provided, i came to the same conclusion about the waiver but experienced immigration attorneys might have a way to argue his case. it’s a great opportunity that the OP was selected, and in my opinion, it’s worth a shot to explore the attorney option. experienced...

when i mentioned that you could do CP in the latter scenario, i meant leaving with approved AP but, to COP, is not the move you want to make. i agree with mom that AOS was a better route and you don’t need to worry about your pending asylum application after you come back with a green card...

based on your replies, it seemed to me that you entered legally and were out of status before filing for asylum. if this is true, you have a period of illegal stay. however, if you filed for asylum before you were out of status, you have not yet accrued any illegal stay because you are in...

it sounded, at least to me, that you referred to the assignment of the individual hearing in 3 years as “a continuance like that”, in your original post below: anyway, it is all good that your post actually pushed me to verify and make sure that we do not lose EAD eligibility if we did not...

i concur that each EAD is valid for two years, and the initial EAD is free!

exactly! so we are still able to renew our EAD cards while waiting for an individual hearing.

there is no need to hire a lawyer just to file an EAD application for $1,500. i did it myself but you could check out non-profit immigration organization in your area.

sorry for very late reply. no they don’t cancel my EAD card. i am about to renew it again soon and that will be my 4th one. does anyone know experienced asylum lawyers in chicago? i have exhausted all non profit organizations and they do not have the capacity to take my case.

i also thought the info was not correct. i googled and found an article from NIJC, trustworthy non-profit organization helping immigrants and what not. https://immigrantjustice.org/sites/default/files/content-type/resource/documents/2018-04/Appendix%20N%20-%20EAD%20FAQ_04%202018.pdf for Q7, Q8...

yes, when i first heard of it in the courtroom, i was terrified. but i didn’t know that we could no longer renew our EAD card!!!!! that is a new information for me and i am worried. how will i survive without working. so, the EAD card will no longer valid as soon as i got an individual hearing...

In case you didn't read my post well, I DID say "I keep looking for an attorney, but so far no one wanted to take my case. After an intake interview, they all told me that they did not have the capacity to take my case." Yes, I did not say specifically that those were pro bono organizations...

Thank you for the encouragement. To answer your question, after the interview in the Chicago AO, the IO told me to go back two weeks after for the decision. I keep looking for an attorney, but so far no one wanted to take my case. After an intake interview, they all told me that they did not...

what is “relief granted? in your status? will the judge consider other factors to grant your case?

no, my EAD card is still valid, and according to my attorney, i can renew if my current one is about to expire.

since 05/14/2018 that i was informed my case had been referred to an IJ, i just received a letter from US Dept of Justice yesterday stating that my master hearing is on dec 2018! that is a long wait, but i think it's good as i have time to look for an attorney and get him/her familiar with my case.

i guess you meant the “hearing” date, right? well, from what i read from the internet, it could take up to 6 months. but it’s important to attend this master hearing, or else you will be ordered removed. it is recommended that by that time, you have an attorney to represent you because the court...

sorry to hear that you didn’t have good news like mine. the brown packet that the clerk gave to me also has a list of lawyers. did you have that? too bad my current lawyer would have to move out of state and could no longer represent me. i will have to find a new lawyer before the master...
