it sounds like your case is still in san fran. it's generally not a good idea to move around (and to move your application to another asylum office) while the case is pending, because it would only introduce more room for errors and delays. In your current situation, you need to weigh the costs...

This is not normal. I've applied twice. The first time it took 4 months and the second took just 2. Once they have your information it should be a lot faster. Definitely not 7 months. It appears (from your phone conversation) that they're having backlogs. Unfortunately there's not much you can...

I think the part of his plan most likely to be carried out is to deport the illegal immigrants, which he can do by just executive orders. Touching the legal immigrants or the immigration process is much harder and would require congressional support, which takes much much more time.

His policy plan included increasing the wage requirement for H visas... could this affect visas already approved and issued in the past? what about renewal?

It's no secret that Donald Trump is anti-immigration and considers refugees of Muslim origin a threat to the US domestic security. But I'm wondering how much he can or will actually do: 1) Is there any chance that current asylees/refugees and asylee/refugee-turned permanent residents be...

i think he's saying that he put in an application for asylum but hasn't been approved yet. But in any case, i'm not actually familiar with the EAD process when asylum is pending. pls repost as a new thread.

it wouldn't hurt to submit a copy of your rental contact or something if it's easy to do. it's not in the i-485 instructions but i believe it's something the immigration officer needs to check.

I read this on the visa bulletin: "For June, F2A numbers EXEMPT from per-country limit are authorized for issuance to applicants from all countries with priority datesearlier than 01SEP14. F2A numbers SUBJECT to per-country limit are authorized for issuance to applicants chargeable to all...

my online status said "accepted fingerprint fee" as yours does until last week. if everything goes well, you should receive your green card soon. see my detailed timeframe below.

No I did not have an interview.

Just received my green card based on asylum approved more than 1yr ago. See below for my timeline. Feel free to ask me anything. Always happy to help out members of this forum.

hi guys - anyone filing i-485 through the Texas Service Center (TSC)? any delays there? pls share your experience.

there's no need to go through a lot of trouble to get the receipt letter. it's really just to tell you they got your case, which you already know they did because you did the fingerprint.

I was under the impression that asylum green cards only get interviews when you have a history of criminal activities/felony. is this not true any more? also, what are the common reasons for RFEs? do you need to show in your i485 application that you are still in danger of persecution if you go...

i filed my i485 based on asylum around the same date. pls see my timeline below. my application is being processed in the Texas Service Center (TSC). USCIS processing time website is showing some delays.

yes. everybody needs an I693 form. The fact that she has vaccination records might make the physical exam shorter but it's still required.

Hi guys, Could someone pls share their experience of international air travel with a refugee travel document (RTD)? Just regular international flights, NOT going back to your home country (COP). Did you have any issues going through airport security? Is it a good idea to bring your national...

you can see my timeline below to get a sense of how long you might need to wait. I was told right after the interview to expect a decision in 2 weeks but was told on the Monday of that week to wait for the decision in mail. They made me wait for four months during which time I wrote letters...

Hi i submitted my i485 a few days ago (jan 2016). the current processing time frame is 4 months according to the official website. is this accurate? any known delays?

As others have said above it could be years and years in waiting. I applied in the Newark NJ office and was lucky enough to get an interview within a month of application. But they made me wait four months for the approval. Of course none of this is anything compared with the time you guys...
