Dear Friends at forum:
My husband was an Asylee (approved asylum) when he got married to me. But he got the Green card through me. I am a US citizen. Now he wants to apply for Citizenship through me.
when we applied for his Green card he had to renew his passport of his country of citizenship. it was one of the requirements. That country of citizenship was obviously also the county of his persecution. there was absolutely no issue about it at the time of his Green card interview.
But could it be a problem for citizenship interview?
He never traveled to his country of citizenship nor to any other place. He has never left USA ever since he came here. Does his asylum case will again surface at the time of citizenship even when he is applying for citizenship through me?My understanding is that the asylum thing is no more the issue if he got the GC through me??

Your advice, input and suggestions will be highly appreciated.
Sincere replies only
Thanks a lot in advance!

Are you sure that he actually got granted asylum OR had he merely applied for it? When an applicant for asylum obtains status by some other means , the asylum case is dropped and goes away....

8 CFR § 208.14 Approval, denial, referral, or dismissal of application.

(g) Applicants granted lawful permanent residence status. If an asylum applicant is granted adjustment of status to lawful permanent resident, the Service may provide written notice to the applicant that his or her asylum application will be presumed abandoned and dismissed without prejudice, unless the applicant submits a written request within 30 days of the notice, that the asylum application be adjudicated. If an applicant does not respond within 30 days of the date the written notice was sent or served, the Service may presume the asylum application abandoned and dismiss it without prejudice.

It would still not be an issue for the situation that you describe.
 
No, He was granted the asylum. His asylum was approved.

But he never applied for adjustment of status through asylum. He got the green card through marriage to me.

Thanksss a lot!

His entire A-file will be reviewed when his N-400 is adjudicated. Even is his asylum case is given a quick look over, I see no issue to worry about.
