Asylee N-400 Interview Prep - Questions re: EWI

[asynat27]

I have just submitted an N-400 application for citizenship, but am still feeling nervous.
Here's my story:
I entered the US briefly with my parent (I was a child) in 1990 for a vacation, w/ B1 visa, departed after a 10 day stay, and then returned in 1998 after situation in COP deteriorated without documentation and without inspection. All this, I understand, was discussed during my parent's asylum interview (they were approved) without complication.

I have derivative asylum-based LPR status

An I-485 was then filed without the help of a lawyer and was approved without the need of an interview. But even though the Entry Without Inspection was mentioned during asylum interview and again in I-485 I am still nervous. My parents never filed a Waiver when they filed an I-485 -- could this be brought up against me at N-400 interview? Also, they mentioned during asylum interview that entry without inspection was because we could not obtain NP but that also means we don't have proof that we left when we said we did. All this I am discussing with my lawyer, but I am especially anxious about the entry without inspection.

As asylees are we required to obtain a Waiver if we entered without inspection when we adjust status??? What happens if we didn't and it was approved anyway??

What's the entry without inspection, what do you mean? You entered country illegally?

For the most part, if you have got your greencard, you should be ok. Entry without inspection is a problem when getting greencard, but given the time you have been here and the fact you are deravative, I don't think you are ganna have a problem. USCIS is primarily concerned with for the past five years..

Google this USCIS memorandum:

Waivers under Section 209(c) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (AFM Update 05-33)

It says that asylees who entered without inspection don't need to apply for a waiver when adjusting their status. Instead, the officer grants it automatically at his or her discretion.
