Just heard from my attorney that a new lawsuit has been filed to force government to backdate GC as the date of asylum approval, based on "inequality compared with refugee adjustment".

Will provide more info when I am less busy. :)
 
Good news

It would be right - according to the Law you cannot be an asylee unless you are a refugee by a definition first. Hence all those differences in favour of refugees over asylees are in a breach of the Law...
 
Good one....

Damn that's a good one. I have been waiting for this for a long time. I hope it can benefit all of us. I know how long these kind of cases can drag, usually forever.... But in the end it will be good for our future fellow asylees. Its about time someone did something about this very key issue.
Bravo....
Thanks WindyWD for the info and we'll stay tuned for further updates... :p
 
How about free EADs? Asylees have right to work incedent to their status! why is BCIS charging $175 for EAD?
 
Kjonim,

Kjonim,
As an asylee, you don't need EAD anymore, so stop wasting your money on renewing your EAD. You are entitled to get an un-restricted SSN, ooops here I go with Acronym again (Social Security Number/card). That and your DL (Driving Liscence or state Id) should be enough to prove your employment eligibility.
RTD, (Refugee Travel Document) now that's a different story. I wish they increase the validity period of RTD. That would help.

WEll by the time this provision will pass, we would have already reached citizenship stage.... just like when Real ID is passed , we were already due a GC.... :cool:
 
You bet it will drag forever

I know Lazer that sucks but like I said may be our future asylees brothers and siters will benefit from it.
 
Good news, but, how can they win the case? By law (old or new) an asylee must wait on line for his I485 being granted, no matter how long it is.

Lazer, Your BIO done half years ago. Why haven't you got approval yet? any particular reason(s)?

Go to SS website and print unrestircted SSC requirements. Show it to SS office. Some SS office persons do not know the detail requirement or policies. They may also tell you about your status not changed in USCIS. If in that case, you can ask them to check secondary reference from USCIS.
 
will get back to you guys later. had to hang up on him because my boss was calling me, now he is out of office....

but most likely it is in early stage, the court has to certify as class action status. a good start, though. why no one did this earlier??????????

Yes, but...
Asylees who are approved have their adjustment backdated to one year prior to the date of approval, and thus are eligible to file for naturalization in four years. Refugees have their approval backdated to their date of admission as a refugee (usually the date of entry of U.S.), and thus may file for naturalization five years after that date.

My question is how to across the barrier of low?

I think this lawsuit will be a waste of time and effort. Backdating is not an urgent issue for asylees, the important issue is to treat us equally as refugees when it comes to natuaralization. Just my humble opinion.
