It will show up on the eoir website only if you are referred to the immigration court (denied by asylum office).

Wow, the website has my info as well although I have been a citizen for over a year now.

Unfortunately based on the timelines here in the forum, initial asylum interviews could take anywhere between 4 to 5 years. It will take an additional amount of time (measured in years) if you get referred to the immigration court. I know it sucks, but this is the unfortunate reality of this...

You are making it more difficult than it is. Assuming you got asylum in 2020 , when you file your 2020 tax return in 2021, just file the 1040 or 1040EZ instead of 1040NR. If you have any taxes due, the software will automatically calculate it and you will either have taxes due or your refund...

Yes - absolutely. Your initial I-9 was a F1 based on campus employment. Now you can work anywhere. You can use EAD or a combination of drivers license and unrestricted SS Card to show your eligibility. Go get your unrestricted SS card if you haven’t already. EADs expire and are expensive to...

I used the I-94 from my last entry when I came back from Mexico on RTD after receiving asylum. That’s the only I-94 I had and also sent a copy along. I don’t think anyone even bothered to look. All asylee grant information is in the RAPS database which the uscis officers can verify during...

Usually principal Asylee cases are not transferred to local office unless you get unlucky (like me) and they decide to interview you. So in most cases the case will stay at a service center. My GC process took 6 months rather than the usual 4 because they called me for a interview which lasted...

Not sure which attorneys you talked to but there is absolutely no mixed opinion about this. F1 is a non immigrant visa. Once you get asylum you are an Asylee and your visa is no longer valid. You need to use a RTD if you travel. You will not be allowed in with the F1 visa. You can apply for GC...

I’m sure you may be aware that you can get a same day passport at the agency if you have an urgency. They do ask for a flight ticket. But the issue is that most nations seem to have a restriction on entry of US citizens right now. Ive heard that the flight schedules are messed up too. On the...

Congratulations @7of9 !! It’s a bit strange that they didn’t take fingerprints or a picture to confirm if the applicant and interviewee was the same person as this seemed to be the standard protocol at all offices prior to the virus pandemic. Maybe they altered it now. Basically your interview...

They should have asked you for evidence during your adjustment interview. The fact that they approved your petition means that you met your burden of proof. Now they are claiming that you were not properly granted your green card so it’s their turn to meet the burden of proof. Moreover if they...

^^ THIS!! If you believe that some president, congressman or a “future bill” is going to change your life, you are living in a fool’s paradise. Try to find solution to your problems in the existing realities. That way whether the political change happens or not would not matter to you. Great...

Per my understanding you are required to be legally married and not separated from your husband as of the date you get your 10 year green card approved. However, I am not aware of any requirement that he pays you child support unless ordered by a judge during a divorce decree. Even if he...

Did you and your husband attend your green card interview together? Were you living separately at the time of the interview? You said that you could not remember where your husband was stationed. A mere lack of memory not sufficient to sustain USCIS’s burden of proof that your marriage was...

Like I mentioned, since you applied 5 years after your GC, the burden of proof is on uscis to prove with clear and convincing evidence that your marriage is fraudulent. The NOID should list the evidence they have against you. You need to ask a lawyer to evaluate the evidence they have provided...

Both Canada and US allow dual citizenships so you do not lose your canadIan citizenship when you become a US citizen. In other words, you are already a dual citizen. Congrats.

I finished my journey last year! So glad to be done with it… For fellow Asylees , here are some of my pointers based on my personal experiences 1. Patience: The immigration process is a game of patience. You will most likely have delays but do not let this get to you. Keep living your life and...

I think the letter you got was a generic letter asking for everything. You were not really required to register when you were on F1 and now since you are beyond 31, you are past the requirement. It’s only an issue for people who are between 26 and 31 as USCIS considers not registering as a...

By the way the selective service registration criteria applies only if you are under 31 at the time of your N400. I am under 31, so I needed it. Not sure of your age....

Its too late now since you already lost it, but its possible to get a certified copy of the naturalization certificate from the uscis by scheduling infopass. They will copy the original and certify it for you with a raised seal, which can be used in place of the original. I got it for myself so...
