    Asylum-based I-485 Green Card, Case Trasferred to National Benefits Center

    How to File Tax While I Gave Up F1 and Am Now An Asylum Applicant?

    That's exactly my situation. I earned the income while on F1, but I'm now only having a pending asylum. On the tax forms I'll need to state my status, and I only saw F1 was among the option of immigration status, but pending asylum is not a legal status in the forms.

    What to Wear on Asylum Interview?

    Thank you for all your replies! The truth is that I'm not economically well-off, and I cannot afford a suit...

    What Social Security Card Do You Have for Pending Asylum?

    Thank you! But unfortunately, it's only a job at McDonald's. I'm really hopeless since McDonald's even wants an UNRESTRICT ead... The work permit seems to be useless.
