Asylee Adjustment Cut-Off Date and Litigation
The INS Asylum Office has advised AILA that the current cut-off date for adjustment of status processing for asylees is January 16, 1998. Under the current quota for asylum adjustments, applications to adjust from asylum status filed before that date should have been adjudicated by now, or should be in the process of being adjudicated. The cut-off date is set at the beginning of each fiscal year. Thus, the next cut-off date is expected to be announced on or after October 1, 2001.
AILF is preparing litigation about the INS\'s administration of the asylee adjustment waiting lists. For more information, click here to consult the Frequently Asked Questions and click here to retrieve the Potential Plaintiff Questionnaire. Members who have clients who may be eligible to participate in the lawsuit should return the questionnaires to asylee@ailf.org as soon as possible.
