The university career center has told me that most employers seek citizens or perm residents for employment - so they refuse to change my work authorization status so I can connect with employers.. However since it is illegal to discriminate when hiring, how can I handle this? Is it illegal to...

Asylum office requested that I confirm I am no longer in student status. I guess this means that they will refer my case to immigration court instead of approving it. I am so scared. I feel an anxiety attack coming, and can't breathe :(

On this board it seems that people who need to do second finger print notice later post that they received approvals after that process (usually soon too!). So I am excited for you.

Sadly because people (like you) can then claim that men are being discriminated against (like you are doing now) the overwhelming amount of women in the middle east and africa who are beaten starting at infantry, tortured, and mutilated cannot file an asylum/refugee claim based on gender. It...

Somewhere on the USCIS website, there is information in the prospective asylum applicants section about how someone may be able to find free legal representation for asylum. Perhaps someone can help you. Good luck.

Ok so I was able to actually solve my problem by speaking to someone at the "Account Review Division" when I called them. I suggest the same for someone having a similar problem!

Thank you nss2009. I was also aware of that exact webpage and kept referring to it to the person on the phone - however even though I was on the phone over 4 hours about this they could not figure out what to do. I will call again tomorrow and try again.

I thought that asylum applicants with a EAC are eligible to apply through ACA - after over 1 hour of being on the phone, they first tole me I am eligible for medicaid then told me I am not eligible for anything bc of my immigration status. Has anyone been able to successfully obtain health...

Thank you! I wish I knew this before the deadline. When I was searching then the answer online seemed to be no! I just lost my other health insurance so maybe I will be eligible as an "exception" for the deadline.

I wish I could help you but I don't know how. Was your sister not listed in your fathers asylum application? Your post made me cry. I hope you are all safe.

Has anyone been able to purchase health insurance as an asylum applicant? Please let me know where from! Thank you.

beccas: Again I think that since you will probably be approved they don't want to waste effort on your case and instead focus on other people who need it. However if you want to give it one last try, you are close enough to NYC and haven't tried this yet go to 333 7th Ave, New York, NY10001...

beccas I am sorry for your situation but I can relate. I have no one in either country either so I understand what you are going through. Also I don't know how to live in the country (I have already spent a good chunk of my life here) and the other country is very dangerous for me - especially...

I thought you already were approved Ouzy, am I wrong? You can contact them.. In my case it is a bit more sensitive and I will wait.

Oh so even if I apply soon - it's too late now?

More importantly if we are out of status with only a pending asylum application we cannot apply probably, right?

Do you know what the physical requirements are?

Oakkas -as far as I know if you are adjusting status/getting a GC through the asylum you do not need a waiver. However if you try to get a GC through marriage or most other means you will need a waiver. I hope that helps.

Thank you Ouzy. I have been really so distressed and even suicidal since that decision. But your response helped a little bit. Also I am so scared that they will deny it before my status expires in several weeks. I will then lose my work authorization too and I have no savings and no family. I...

You will probably be approved. I read on the forums here that when they ask for a second fingerprint they usually approve afterwards. It makes sense, if they have any intention of denying, they would not bother with your fingerprints. They are doing final background checks before they announce...
