Hi all,i got my asylum approval beginning of Oct’25 after almost 3 yrs of waiting for the interview with Uscis.I applied for GC and RTD beginning of this month(Nov) and I just received a biometrics appointment notice for green card for next week.How is the process continuing after that?As far as I know Uscis requires 1 yr US presence in Asylee status in order to adjudicate the GC application.Look forward to hearing the experiences of people who have gone through the same process.
 
There is a whole forum just for that purpose alone, you can find all aspects for this step (I am under same boat. got approved July 2025)

Thread 'Processing time for green card based on asylum'

Hi all,

I will apply soon for green card based on asylum. The USCIS website indicates that the processing time in Texas Service Center is between 7 months to 26 months, which is a huge variation in processing time. Would you guys please share here your asylum green card processing timeline to get a better understanding of the actual processing time?

Thanks!

Yes, 1 year presence is required and there is a debate these days whether it is safe to apply prior to end of 1 year, in order to beat the further processing time ( as per USCIS, 19 months approx these day)

What if USCIS picks your application and adjudicates it negatively reasoning your 1 year presence is not complied ?

If that happens, applicant loses the hefty non-refundable fee and process restarts and now there is a tag of rejection on your alien number which may possibly make things more complicated

Some people have applied and they are in line, like you

My lawyer said it s ok to apply before 1 year since Uscis allows that and as a matter of fact,Uscis website doesnt mention any negative repercussions of applying early.
