    Travel with stamping and without greencard

    JoeF ... Question for you. Thanks for any advice ... Based on your previous response, do you know for sure that an asylee cannot travel back to his or her home country even after he has gotten the green card. I can see INS\'s rationale for restricting travel when he is applying for GC, but do...

    Travel with stamping and without greencard

    GC & Asylee - Any travel restrictions? I\'ve posted this question on one of the other "sections", and I hope you won\'t mind my posting it here, too. Say an asylee get his GC. Now, when he was an asylee, he has a lot of travel restrictions placed on him - must apply for advance parole...

    Travel with stamping and without greencard

    Thanks, JoeF ... I don\'t have GC yet, but deciding how to get it Thanks, JoeF. I don\'t really have a GC yet, but deciding how to get it. Whether through "asylee status" - I received "recommended approval" for my asylum application recently - or through employment, I...

    Can I call INS to speed up FP notice?

    Hi, everyone? I was recently given "recommended approval" for my asylum notice. However, I can\'t get "final approval" until FP clearance. I hear that that can take from 1 to 18 months! How do I get INS to quickly send me a FP notice? Does the Nebraska SC handle it on behalf...

    Any gay person from Singapore granted asylum in USA?

    I agree with Gilbert, use a attorney ... gayman, just because a person is gay doesn\'t entitle him, or her, to asylum in the US. Sexual orientation is not a valid ground for asylum in the US. This is unlike several countries where gay citizens can actually sponsor their partner for...

    Travel Restrictions on Asyless - For How Long?

    You seem to have an axe to grind, asylee I don\'t think you are in the right forum, asylee. All the posts I\'ve seen of yours are negative ones, and threathening in many ways. This is a forum to share our experiences, and to let others who have just become asylees know what the whole process...

    Travel Restrictions on Asyless - For How Long?

    JohnR, JohnR, one of the grounds for the granting of asylum is on the grounds of a fear of persecution. If the asylee did show that there are grounds for this, then the risks of being persecuted is so much more if that person were to be in his home country for an extended period of time, vs...

    Travel Restrictions on Asyless - For How Long?

    I think you\'re wrong, asylee I sincerely believe you\'re wrong, asylee. You just cannot make a blanket statement stating that any, and all asylees, who wish to go back to the home country does not have a genuine case for asylum. There are so many grounds for asylum, and you need to know why...

    Travel Restrictions on Asyless - For How Long?

    I also got the same news from my lawyer I agree with keagles, and I sure hope he is right. I discussed this with my lawyer, and his paralegal. He informed that an asylee can actually go back to his home country after a "reasonable" time of obtaining GC. This has been bugging me...

    Travel Restrictions on Asyless - For How Long?

    I have got something bugging me about travel restrictions placed on asyless. This is something I had not foreseen when I applied for asylum, but I guess I can understand why INS imposes it. I know for sure that an asylum applicant can\'t travel to his home country, the one from which he has...

    Newbie Asylee - Needs Clarification on EAD? I am a new asylee. I was asked to apply for an EAD on my asylum approval letter, but now I read that EAD is not required. Is that true? Or is it that I must apply for the initial EAD, and then not renew annually? Please help. What do I show...

    We do NOT EADs

    Thanks, noid for that comprehensive (boy!) answer Thank you, noid. That must be one of the most comprehensive posts yet I have seen on the issue of EAD, and asylees. I actually already have an "restricted" SS card. Did the INS issue an "unrestrictied" one to my by mistake? I...

    How come no one\'s posting?

    It\'s been kinda quiet these last few days, and I\'d hope that someone has some advice on the "travel restrictions" to an asylee\'s home country. Hope someone can help. Thanks.

    New Asylee - Advice please!!

    EAD Sent - Now, the long road to GC begins ... I\'ve just submitted my I-765 form for my EAD last week. I know that aylees do not need EAD to work, but I\'m not at that stage yet, although I\'ve got "recommended approval". Getting my EAD would free me from the conditions of my H1-B1...
