Asylee adjustment cut-off date

No Title

Thanks, Alan.

I came to the U.S. as a derivative asylee in November 97.

The Form I-485 was filed with NSC in December 98.

I got my receipt in February 99. No contact from the INS since then.

It is interesting to see if my application will be approved before my FA 2A date becomes current.

Hi Bobbie,

 Forgive my ignorance. But is FA 2A something to do with applicant\'s 21st birthday deadline? If that is the case, I was browsing through the INA yesterday and the INS has some *special* filing instructions for I-485 applicants who will turn 21yr of age while their application is pending.

 If FA 2A is what I think it is please reply here. I can find you the section of the INA where it refers on such matter.

Don\'t lose your hope yet. There are currently ongoing efforts by sumpathetic politicians such as Congresswoman Shiela Jackson Lee to increase the Asylee GC quota. Also, Pres. Bush can increase the quota in Presidential Determination FY2002 if he think that is appropriate action to take. Also the AILF is leading a band of asylee plaintiffs who filed their I-485s before July 1998 in a legal action against the INS.

  So as you can see there is more than one individual or group trying to increase the Asylee GC quota. But how the result of these efforts will turn out (atleast in my opinion) is in God\'s will.

 As an asylee you can participate in letter writing campaign. There is not an organized campaign ( I want to start one if I can have some free time and resources) , so you will have to write your own letter.

Jack,

I was actually talking about a Form I-130 Relative Petition that my wife filed for me. She has been a permanent resident for a two years.

I see....so you were granted derivative asylee status through your wife, correct? Did you and your wife file the I-485 together?

Yeah, I agree with Alanpero that some of the SC processing dates you may find at various internet sources may not be accurate. I\'ve seen some lawyer web sites saying I-485 processing time for asylee is 300 to 400 days.

Now, as of June 30, 2001 they are reporting between 960 and 990 days. Does it make any sense? No. As said, that processing time information is useless, at least the one reproted for asylees.
And they keep the same date for initial processing (6/2/98), as explained in last paragraphs of 6.1.1.

When I called NSC last year an IIO told me average processing time for asylee I-485 filed at district office is 36 to 40 moths.
 Now my case is "under the process of being adjudicated."

Hi Guys,

 I just found this at this address. I think this is for people who filed at the LA district office. Happy reading :)
