2020 SF asylum seekers

@Raider1996 will you get a working permit or have to wait for 365 days?

Now, guys who past 1 year deadline can apply? How EAD would work for them?

 

[HoustonAssi]

Anybody who applied at SF office in 2020, got interview or EAD yet? Are they open for interviews yet?

That's great. I also applied in 2/2020.

When did you request to be put on the short list?
How far in advance did they notify you for the interview?

My lawyer contacted the Chicago office to ask about their short list. They said that the short list is not moving that fast because not a lot of people cancel or reschedule their interview appointments these days. Also, the short list works on a first come first serve basis.
