This is completely wrong. They have to wait for one year after getting in under the I-730 approval before they can submit their I-485 applications.

The five year from the date of asylum grant was the ideal when Congress passed the Refugee Act. And it got screwed up when the number of people granted asylum far exceeded the 10K cap. Now this is much closer to reality. Refugees get better treatment because unlike refugees they are...

Yes you have to give them the original proof of naturalization. The State Department rarely loses this.

Resident alien card is the same as permanent resident card.

Some ceremonies offer you the option to apply for a passport on the spot and some do not. If your ceremony offers this option, it will be more convenient for you because you do not need to make a special trip to the post office. You have to give them the original naturalization...

What you are proposing to do is doubly stupid. First, you will cause the government to have doubt about the merit of your parents' asylum application. Second, whatever academic degree you will get from your COP will not have the same value as a degree from the United States.

Asylum-based green cards are back dated by one year. This is the law.

It will be an initial application.

It is in your interest to submit the medical at the time you submit the rest of the application.

So you are from State A, moved to State B for purposes of schooling. In which state are you applying for citizenship? It sounds like you want to apply in state B. But want to keep your ID from state A to maintain your residential status in state A? This makes no sense as your school is in...

You should ask for a copy of the A file as soon as possible to see if any earlier approval is reflected in the file. Did you submit two I-485s?

Once again it does not matter why or how the green card application was "slowed down." The USCIS has the authority to backdate the card one year from the date of the approval. That is it. To be perfectly honest, it was not really a slow down. Given her age the nunc pro tuc process was an...

Her card was backdated correctly and USCIS applied the law correctly. When the I-485 was filed was not relevant. What mattered was the date of approval.

They will not accept a second application unless you can demonstrate changed circumstances.

It is not a bad idea.

On what ground did the DHS appeal?

You are required to explain why you renewed the passport. If you are concerned that your reason is not consistent with your asylum claim, you can avoid this by NOT applying for a refugee travel document.

To clarify, I do not give "professional suggestion[s]" to anyone on this forum. I do not represent anyone on this board; I do not offer legal advice and I do not have a lawyer-client relationship with anyone here.

The asylum form asks this question too. How did you answer when you applied for asylum?

They do not have to make a decision at the interview. Likwise they do not have to disclose their evidence at the interview. The citizenship applications of people who got their GCs via asylum routinely go through another layer of supervisory review.
