Hi guys - I was granted asylum more than a year ago and I'm about to apply for a green card. But I'm having the following issues - 1) I cannot find my birth certificate and I cannot go back to my COP to apply for a copy from the government 2) I had a short visit to Canada recently using my...

I think you have a reasonable case but it's important that you provide proof for the following: 1. You are an Eritrean citizen. Eritrea is the only place you can go to and you are not firmly settled in any other country. You need to show that you cannot firmly settle down and receive asylum in...

Yes it is possible. You need to notify uscis in writing that you intend to give up your Ashlee status. But I strongly suggest not to. Application for asylum status is a very serious matter and revoking it may have consequences if you ever plan to apply for green card through employment. Unless...

Also one more thing. If you national passport expired, it is a VERY BAD idea to try to renew it coz it would definitely count as receiving benefits from your home country. You will be asked if you ever renewed your national passport on your citizenship application/in the interview. Again, there...

I don't think it's a good idea to use your national passport as an asylee. My lawyer told me that using a national passport could still be interpreted as receiving benefits from the government of the country you applied for asylum from. However, in practice, it might be a non-issue due to the...

yes i did pay the fee. The RTD is valid for a year since issuance. No, I have not used it yet. But I applied for a visa stamp on it.

But think you need to attach your i-485 receipt in your RTD application to waive the fee. Q3: You are not supposed to still travel with your national...

Hi - I was granted asylum in the US a year ago and am preparing my application for adjustment of status. Would I be able to travel to Canada for 2 weeks while the application is submitted and pending? I already obtained a refugee travel document (I-131) and has a Canadian visitor visa on it...

Hi there, I was granted asylum in the Newark office a month ago (!!!!!) and applied for a refugee travel document (RTD) the following Monday. I've been anxiously waiting ever since because I want to visit my friends in Canada and the UK (neither is my home country). I know it hasn't been that...

anyone applied in the newark (lyndhurst) office this year? would you pls private msg me if you don't want to post in public?

Had my interview a month ago. The asylum officer was very nice and had great patience in hearing out my story and fears. Despite my stress and worries about having to go back to my home country and face persecution, it turned out to be a really pleasant experience at the asylum office. Anyhow...
