I'm officially screwed. I was going to have my biometric appointment in late March. I imagine there are still people who are applying for asylum in the US while they do not conduct any interviews. Even if the asylum office reopens in June, my application will be given less priority compared to those who are filing I-589 right now. I'm probably looking at 2-3 years to get an interview.
You will get it , may be they were not sent to post same day. You can as well check k your case status for updates. Cheers
considering where the pandemic is heading, I think they may extend the closure further. Unfortunately immigration is the last priority right now. There may also be delays since there would be a backlog of several interviews/oaths and new applications as well. I kind of feel bad for people who were just about to be done and had their oaths postponed indefinitely. But I think it’s more important for all of us to be safe. What use is a GC or citizenship if someone gets the virus and succumbs to it?
From what I read, the only showstopper is interviews/oaths since they need in person appointments. The paper based applications are being processed. I also read somewhere that CIS is using prior biometrics to issue EADs so I’m thinking that EADs are being processed normally. On a side note, I never understood why they make you take biometrics for each application anyway. The whole point of biometrics is that they never change so they can easily run background checks with prior biometrics on record like they are doing now. I think it’s just a money making scheme.

Are you the primary applicant? Have you received the notice to know why it was rejected?
Yes I am the primary applicant. I haven't recieved the notice yet. I checked it online and even called uscis toll free no.
Please wait for the notice, it might be an oversight or non properly filled form. Whichever I have not seen where the PRINCIPAL applicant is denied and others are given approval. Let's us know the outcome. Cheers and please stay safe, don't worry you will be fine
Received the EAD denial letter saying an "acceptable photo identity" wasn't attached. They are just playing with us. Just imagining how people can be even in this tough times.
You see? Just reapply and give them the acceptable one. It won't hurt. I wish you the very best. I and my kids were denied EAD for 3 consecutive times. Reason they kept seeing my clock as Lee's than 150 days. I finally got it last week, so cheer up. We go through hurdles but the end will be brighter. Be safe dear
Thank you for ur encouraging words
Your lawyer should have emailed the Asylum Office instead of calling the service center.
How would I have known, I engaged the lawyer after my 2nd attempt that was when we were told to write to them. They don't attend to email but posted , written mails. Thanks anyways, it's history now.
