OP - I think you may have misinterpreted the purpose of the lawsuit. You may want to read up on 8 USC 1447(b) under which you filed the lawsuit. There is nothing in the section that forces USCIS or the judge to approve your application, it is merely to get a decision on your application if it is...

Answer: I have no intention to ghost. No I didn’t have to file for a default judgment in my 1447b case as the US attorney responded to my case on time and I had a hearing before him and the judge where I was able to force him to compromise on some aspects. I have been a part of other lawsuits...

@RetroPoint i understood your point and I stated and linked to Federal rule 55 which you obviously didn’t read. Read section b(1) and b(2) and then section d. and you shall clearly know that the clerk can only enter judgement for a sum certain amount. You are not suing for money but asking the...

Default judgment is entered under Federal rule 55 (d). It is unlikely that the judge will enter a default judgement for you against the government and Grant you citizenship outright, but the motion would help set your case in process. https://www.law.cornell.edu/rules/frcp/rule_55 Since your...

If I recall correctly there are 2 parts to the question - have you ever registered to vote or voted? The answer in your case would be yes along with the explanation. Lying is not recommended as they can deny you for lack of good moral character. If you think the case may be challenging, consult...

If the story is fake or at least not strong then they may have issue before the officer as well. But unfortunately the system is not airtight and many fake applicants get through both at the officer or IJ stage while real ones may get denied. It all depends on how the IJ/officer is, their mood...

An unexpired US passport is a conclusive proof of US citizenship as per 22 U.S.C. 2705. Even if you lose it, the state department can do a record search to find the record many years later. Many people apply for N600 for their own peace of mind to have an extra document. It is absolutely not...

It’s unfortunate but I don’t understand why people don’t wait for 4-5 days to create a small buffer so that these issues won’t arise at all. I mean we all waited for 3/5 years at least so what difference would a few more days make? Anyway I think you will have to appeal the case with the day...

You have to file for a motion for default judgement. Nothing happens automatically in the court. Every motion you file to the court also needs to be mailed via regular first class mail to the us attorney’s office. You can find templates online. It’s not a difficult motion just a one pager

it’s not a dream. Yes, your case has to be strong and it depends on the judge for sure, but yes, it is very possible. Many of us have won asylum cases before IJ after being denied

Not seekers. But if you have a full asylum grant then yes.

The past year and a half out of these 2 years were taken up by corona . My travel is highly curtailed as well. I usually use to travel a lot for work as well as pleasure. I was just checking the prior posts on this very thread and it seems that it’s been over a year since our friend @7of9 got...

Good luck @DoubleAA I can’t believe it’s already over 2 years since I got my citizenship. All the shit I went through just seems like yesterday. These 2 years have been a blur.

Asylum applicant.

Usually within 30-45 days. Some locations allow you to walk in earlier than your appointment date which is obviously a YMMV situation.

Depends on what the conviction is. Is it a CIMT with a potential sentence of 1 year or more as per the state/federal law? This can trigger deportation potentially. I strongly suggest getting an attorney review the case.

Just FYI - if you don’t already know, you can get pro Bono lawyers for asylum. In any case, good luck. Since you are on valid status, you won’t be deported anyway

I would get an attorney to draft your rebuttal. If they accept your credibility then your testimony alone is sufficient and no additional evidence is necessary. They may have however said that your story does not rise up to the level of persecution or that it doesn’t cover the protected grounds...

That sucks. The wait times seem long these days. Hopefully you have your EAD. Good luck.

I would do the same. A worldwide pandemic with lockdowns and flight restrictions is more than a reasonable excuse. I hope it’s considered.
