I joined this forum in 2010. I learned a lot during my process and I always come back to give back. I have been a PR for four years now, I owe my status to this forum. They should create a ''Donate'' button. I faced the Immigration officer without an attorney because I could not raise the funds...

It's really good to see how we have stood with each other all this time. I just came back to read your experiences. I started this thread 5yrs ago, I now run my own company. God has been so great. I will be coming back to offer any knowledge I may have.

I received my green card today. I am so humbled and thankful to God. Thank you all for your input.

Thanks Assylum, good hearing from you after a long time. I appreciate!

Mamatonny, asante sana. I think mine is just around the corner then since it's four months this month since FP. Thanks a lot, and yes, this site has been my lawyer ever since my initial application. I did nit use a lawyer and i learned lots of stuff here.

you don't need evidence while applying. If they need it they will ask for it after you have applied. They are able to tell if you have traveled outside the US straight from their DHS system. (see green card requirements at http://www.uscis.gov/files/form/i-485instr.pdf)

If you are in status, your case is in low priority category in the asylum office. Most of the time they send you the decision after you are out of status. I waited for one year after interview though i was not in status all that time. Another thing, the pile of work in the service center that is...

In my opinion, yes she can. This is because she did not apply for asylum herself even though she was derivative. Actually how i see it is that the worst that can happen is referral to IJ which you yourself missed, and that may turn out positive as has happened with most people.

Sorry for that. Whether they received the first application or not, they would have still denied you and referred you to the immigration Judge because you applied more than one year after arrival in USA. So, forget about what the officer said and start preparing for the case with IJ because that...

Yes, after 150 days. The above people have answered your question very well. Just to add on that, if you mess up a little bit e.g postponing the hearing or not showing up, that stops the clock and for it to start again is a nightmare.

Thanks 2ndChances, I hope all goes well. And yes, my location processing time says 4 months so i guess am within the time frame.

No I did not. But I have been checking on USCIS case status panel and it still says acceptance.

What you need to know is that the less busy state is less busy for a reason. May be because people know that the state does not approve cases and so people don't wanna risk. The busiest state means everyone/majority sends their applications there, again, probably because there's a higher chance...

Can't help without knowing specifically what you need to know. If you want to know everything, it's a whole lot of stuff one can't write all. So just ask in bits and we will help you.

Yes, but you should receive USCIS notice anytime now.

Thank you all, I already did bio-metrics three months ago. Am just waiting.

Hey alex, glad you got your GC. I applied mine and should be here by dec. I hope you remember me. We have come from far, you remember Ladylee too?

I got my asylum approved in 2011, after one year I applied for GC and am now waiting for response. Will I be called for interview or i will just receive the card in the mailbox?

I hope you have received the biometric notice. If not, then you might need to call the asylum office where you mailed your application. If you have already done the fingerprint, then you need to wait for your interview depending on processing times of the asylum office you mailed. It normally...

A Thank you, i think i will file her I-130 after i get my GC. At least that way she will get a work permit awaiting her visa, right?
