Saden1, it is time for you to stop waiting and act. Believe me, I know from my own experience.
I was granted asylum under my father in 09/2000 and was recently sent a letter saying that I have to apply for asylum in my own right.
I am not well familiar with asylum cases, but this is what I found on the USCIS web site:
"If you were granted derivative asylee status as the child of an asylee and your are now over age 21 and are unmarried, you should contact the nearest asylum office and request information on filing a 'nunc pro tunc' asylum application (using From I-589)...."
I guess this is what the letter you have received means.
I'm fed-up and would like to sue USCIS Pro Se.
Here is a link to an Asylum discussion group of this forum. It might be more helpful for you to seak for information there:

Also, since I don't have an attorney and will be spending a lot of my time and money I'd like to also have the government pay for the time and cost. Is this possible? Is there a proper term for such a thing?
You cannot ask the court to award you a compensation for your time. Lost time is never compensable in court. You may though get reimbursed for your monetary expenses, but this is only if you win. And then again, this is going to be at your judge's discretion. The judge can award you your damages or not.
Thank you, Milashka. I wish you good luck with your case.milashka said:buggin, I am very happy for you.
Your journey is almost over!
You have two choices:nobigdeal said:Hi Fighters,
I filed WOM for AOS case (NC pending for 28 months) on 6/5/06 in East New York District and sent out the summons the next day. I got the green receipt back from the local US attorney's office in a couple of days and from Washington US attorney general's office in a week and from FBI in 2 weeks. Now the remaining three packages to Washington DHS USCIS are still not delivered (online status shows accepted on 6/6/06). It's been almost 3 weeks. My question is whether the receipts from US attorney's offices are sufficient to file proof of services with the court? Or I still have to wait for the others? Thanks in advance guys.

buggin said:Hi everybody,
I have finally a great news to share! I had my naturalization interview on Oct. 5, 2005. Then, I was waiting, waiting, and waiting for the name check to clear. I was so lucky to find this forum and learn that I can do more than just wait. So, I filed my 1447(b) petition on May 30, 2006. My gratitude to everybody on this forum for help and support.
Yesterday, 3 weeks after the US Atty was served with my case, I called the US Atty's office and had a "delightful" conversation with the receptionist that went like this:
- Could you please help me find out if anybody has been assigned to my case?
- I don't know anything about your case.
- Well, could you find out?
- No, I don't know anything. We don't give out any information to people.
- I am not just "people". I am a plaintiff and I need to find out who in your office I can discuss my case with.
- I don't know anything.
- Well, could you transfer me to someone who knows something? (I agree, my question was sarcastic but I couldn't help. )
Finally, she transferred me to another person. I left a voice message. The lady called me back at my home number (though I left her my cell phone) and left a message asking to call back.
Today I called her back and she said: "Well, the USCIS is ready to adjudicate your case but they don't have the jurisdiction." So, she faxed me a stipulation agreement. I liked it and signed it and faxed it back to her. It pretty much said that I agree to dismiss my lawsuit without prejudice and the USCIS agrees to adjudicate the case within 30 days from the dismissal date.
I asked her when should I expect the approval/oath ceremony letter, and she said that the USCIS is trying to get me scheduled for the oath ceremony on July 11.
So, it looks like I am almost there.... Thanks to you all. I wouldn't have done it without this forum. I know I still have to wait for the oath letter, but I am so excited and happy.
Eastbayer, it looks like we might have the oath ceremony on the same day (Masonic Center right?).
Syt,syt said:CONGRATULATIONsssssssssssss...! Buggin and Eastbayer, I really envy you guys. Thank you so much for sharing your experiences here. Your victory make me more confidence to win the lawsuit from USCIS. Enjoy your US citizen-hood.

Thank you, Mr LA. Your oath ceremony is not that far away, is it?Mr LA said:Congratulations my friend, today is you and tomorrow
What date and District Court did you file???FedoraCore said:isn't kinda WEIRD that the AUSA doesn't return my phone calls. I left 2 messages on his voicemail and one with his paralegal, non were returned. I never spoke to him since the case was filed. Tried to establish communication, but failed. did anyone have the same experience?? It's kinda worrisom
Thanks, RealSuperK. I'll start enjoying my freedom from the USCIS once I take the oath. Until then, they still have me on their hook.RealSuperK said:Buggin,
Congrats and enjoy your freedom from the USCIS!
