April 2013 Asylum Applicants

Hi Guys,
So i decided to inquire about my asylum case at Chicago office. I have been waiting for an interview date at Chicago for over 66 days since I received a receipt. So today they sent me a letter stating.... "No interview has been scheduled as of the date of this review. You will be notified by mail two (2) weeks prior to the scheduled date."
So, the wait continues.

Waz!
 
Hi, I hope you all are doing well,
I have a question, I live in Los Angeles, do you know about the office I should apply to? is it a busy office with a long waiting period?

I heard a rumor.
New officers have been trained.
They rake backlog cases in the office in San Francisco.
I think that this month will begin to send out invitations for an interview.

Mistyflip you are very right , The USAJOBS.GOV once posted the vacancies for the AO positions that expired back in May ,Seems they have the offices trained by now

see the link https://www.usajobs.gov/GetJob/ViewDetails/342967600

But the fact always remain that it will really take time for Asylum cases to be opened or people to be interviewed especially those outside the asylum offices jurisdiction

I have been waiting here here for more than 140 days and the wait continues
 
if you live in LA you must apply for anaheim office , but anaheim is really busiest unfortunately i waiting just for interview 6 months
if you can, go to the SF and live there , because SF office better than LA
and also we have a friend here , he applied from nebraska and his interview was in SF , he approved a bout 3 months

How about Newark Office?

Does anyone have some information to share about Newark Office? I filed my application in early June this year but am still waiting for an interview notice.

Also, are the asylum officers harsh in that Office?

Many thanks!!
 
Derivative asylum

I have been waiting for an interview almost for 5.5 months. Last week I changed my address and reported it through USCIS website and also written form. They sent mail that they received the address change and updated the information.

I am also thinking about inquiry for Chicago office. What is the address of sending the inquiry and is there a good written form of this inquiry that i can use.

Thanks guys,

I changed my address too. I did next: file form A-11 on USCIS web site. Signed and dated it. You should Call you asylum office, and ask for their fax number, then fax them your form A-11. After few days call again asylum office to make sure that they changed your address. Mine they didnt change from the first call, so my advise to you: call them till they change it, otherwise you can miss your invitation for the interview.

Thanks guys,

Hi Asylum 2012,

Thanks for your reply,

I called them and asked about if it was updated the address change. Moreover I also inquired my case status he was really funny. The man replied to me was asking same question 10 times. Repeating what I told him at least 5 times. After all he told me that it is sill within the processing times and call back 3 weeks later which the end of the normal processing time. ;)

An Action after 5 months.
A notice requesting additional evidence or information in this case I730 REFUGEE ASYLEE RELATIVE PETITION.
They are asking this after 5 months of application even without interview. I feel this is just to extend the time period. I am now waiting their mail and will send documents they are asking.

Please you should meet with an attorney before you are out of status ... to have him/her review your application.

It widely depend with where you have applied your asylum or your work with the attorney !!

It can take months, even a year, or more, before they will be able to schedule your interview or get your decision, Please

be patient

you "changed " religion here in the US?

you are not gonna just get asylum by just changing your religion , you have to prove first that you genuinely converted to Christianity and expect to be asked extensively about your new religion and you need evidence that you belong to that religion , witnesses .......

also you have to prove that you are in danger if you go back to your country because you converted and explain how did they found out that you converted or how they will know , because you can live in your country and practice your religion without anybody knowing .

and to answer your question , type whatever religion you converted to , and i highly suggest that you find a good lawyer . you are not getting asylum by simply saying i converted to Christianity...
 
my application [correct the timeline]
