I know that asylees are authorized to work without expiration data. Also, on the SSA website, it says that asylees are treated like permanent residents. My question is what should the asylee select when he/she fills out I-9 form? * A lawful permanent resident or * An alien authorized...

I found out today from my lawyer that uscis charges a fee for the first EAD based on pending asylum. USCIS will charge me $340 because I had my old EAD that I got through OPT status. That EAD already expired and now I am filing for my first asylum EAD. My asylum case is still pending. I...

I called the asylum office and I asked about the latest update on my pending case. The operator said that the last time my file was reviewed was on 7/10/09 and it is still in our office and it is pending. I don't know what she means by saying "it is still in our office". Does that mean they plan...

Hello everybody, I found a website that might be very very helpful. It shows you how asylum officers make a decision after the inteview. Some of you might have already visited this site long time ago. Well, I just want the new asylum applicants to see it especially those who are waiting for...

Hi guys, I live in California (Orange county/Los Angeles area). Is there a website where I can find a list of good asylum lawyers? I like my lawyer but the problem is that he sends his assistants to inteviews/court hearing and his assistants are not that experienced. I am looking for a senior...

I received a letter from the asylum office that says I am not required to go pick up the decision. It says that the decison will be mailed to me. I got that letter a week after my interview. I was out of status for almost 3 months when I applied for asylum. The asylum office is so close to my...

Hello All, Do you have any idea why I was interviewd by two officers? Both of them were asking me questions and both of them were taking notes? Was it because they want to focus more on me or because of the quality assurance program that they have to follow?

The asylum officer asked me to send him some extra supporting documents that will help support my story. He asked me to fax it. He also said he would mail the decision within 4-6 weeks. Does that mean a good news or bad news? Does that mean he is planning to approve my case if I give him all...
