Hello dear forum members,
I came to US with student visa to study for graduate degree and after graduation filed for asylum and my case was denied while my visa was valid ( in the letter it was saying that it is no appeal process) but after since then (about 5 years) I stayed in US illegally and recently ICE agents came to our apartment and started to check for visas and papers and when they check my passport they told me that I am Legal Permanent Resident. I was shocked since the only thing I did in US trying to adjust my status was political asylum and it was denied. They told me: " You did process your papers and they been approved". I asked: "For how long I am LPR?" They said : "for long time. You moved thats why you didn't know."
And then I sent written request about my status to Asylum office and they sent me info saying my case was denied. That is why I am wondering what to do. I asked several people and they told me that if you were denied political asylum they would take you and detain immediately. I don't know if they were mistaken, when they checked in their database may be they checked other person or may be that is some kind of trap, so that I will now runaway nowhere. So could you please advise me what I have to do?
