Plz help
Thanks Rebaozi for ur help. I wish it is that easy. I have been calling the 1800 automated number for the last three days, and I get the same reply "162 days" This means that the clock is not actually running. I do not who to call. In the rejection letter there a tel no. I tried to call. They told me this is the court and has nothing to do with EAD.
Arizona immigration is really bad and I applied without a lawyer. That is a total waste of life. I had hopeed to get the EAD so that I can get a job and try to find a lawer. I failed & stuck. I have no idea what should I do!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

180-Day Clock
Section 208(d)(2) of the INA provides that, unless the applicant is otherwise eligible for
employment authorization, employment authorization cannot be granted on the basis of a
pending asylum application prior to 180 days after the date the asylum application was
properly filed. The 180-day clock remains running unless the applicant’s actions cause an
interruption or delay in the processing of the application.
The Clock Query (KLOK) screen in RAPS indicates how long the clock has been running,
any stoppage (tolling) of the clock that has occurred at any time in the process, and the
earliest possible date the applicant is eligible to apply for an EAD. Although the applicant
cannot be granted an EAD before 180 days have passed, the applicant may apply after 150
days have passed, to give USCIS time to process the EAD application. If the asylum
application is denied between the 150th and 180th days, the EAD application must be denied.
Actions by the applicant that would toll the clock include, but are not limited to, requests to
reschedule, failure to appear for the interview or pick-up appointment, and failure to provide
a competent interpreter, which may result in a rescheduling of the asylum interview.
If the Asylum Office denies the asylum application, the clock stops. The clock remains
stopped, even if the applicant is subsequently placed into removal proceedings. This would
occur, for example, if the Asylum Office Director used his or her discretion to issue an NTA
to an applicant who was no longer in status, and who filed a Motion to Reopen and
Reconsider which was dismissed. See Section III.M.3 below.
For a complete list of RAPS commands, which affect the 180-day clock, please refer to
Impact of RAPS Actions on the “KLOK” (Appendix 20).
I just copy and paste it from ( AffrmAsyManFNL[1])
In English, what wrong did I do? I applied after 162 days and received the denial 53 days later.
Another question, what is that you wrote? Is that a kind of a law? I have seen similar bullshit in my country where in a third world a law sentence contains lots of IF and MAY and SHALL NOT. The overall law is tricky, unclear and can be manipulated in many different ways. Is that really happening in US as well. I can't believe that
I hope anybody who has experienced, lawyers or other people to help this friend, thank you for it!God bless you!!
If you are confident that you can prove your case yourself to the Judge, then you really do not need a lawyer. Make sure your case falls under the defination of Asylum and you have adequate evidence to back up your claims. Go to the USCIS website and read what are the requirements of an asylum case and then build up your case accordingly.
thank you man!could you give me a link about USCIS for requirements of asylum court case?
Go to www.uscis.gov and under the Humanitarian Benefits, you will see "Refugee and Asylum". Click on that and read. It is very informational.
Thank you so much man.you mean I can go to court by myself without a lawyer?The law allow me to do that?Why everybody got a lawyer in the court,and if I go to my master hearing by myself is it effect my EAD process?It seems like U.S government like people to pay for lawyer and u know ...this is very helpful for U.S economy.
I fought my case in court without a lawyer and many others have done so. My case was tough. I was out of status for 10 years at the time and I was never persecuted but my relatives were. The court process has nothing to do with the EAD process. Your clock starts when your case starts.
you are so amazing man.
I faced them by myself also. And am hopping the delay in sending the decision will mean success. I have waited for 8months now. But i got the EAD and am driving and working like any other american! So, all you need is confidence and a winning case on your fingertips.
I will remember what you said,thank you so much.
Sorry lost my internet for a while. Well, you can source for a pro-bono attorney. Just go to google and type 'list of pro bono attorneys (followed by your state) e.g pro bono attorneys MA'' . You can have one that speaks your language. Alternatively, you may chose to take both the interpreter and the free lawyer with you which is allowed. I am still waiting.

Don't forget that they have to take your fingerprints, they will definitely find out EVERYTHING about you including what you yourself you don't know. If you have been in the USA for more than one year it will be difficult, but if not, and you have a genuine fear of persecution in your COP, then you're at a better chance.
Waiting asylum decision HELP!!!!!!
My boyfriend applied for asylum in April 2011, completed his interview on June 16th 2011 which lasted about 3 hours... The IO gave him a decision mail out letter, and told him that he would receive the decision in the mail in 4 weeks. It has now been 8 weeks!!!! he is stressed out, and not know what his life is going to be. I keep calling the 1800number and he is not in the system for immigration court. He called the IO in New jersey and they told him that his decision is ready and will be mailed out soon, but there is no time frame. He has been out of status since 2009 and filed after the 1yr deadline. do you think he will be approved???????????? he provided many supporting documents along with a 4 page story of his experiences in his country.
