My brother's asylum case is stuck and no end inside. He came to US first time in September 2007. He had his asylum interview on Dec 04 2007 and till today it has been 91 days and never received his decision in mail. The asylum office gave him peice of paper that was a decision mail out notice at the end of interview. in the mail out notice, it said his decision would be mailed to his address but never says when or how long it will take them to decide.
We have sent three asylum status inquiry letter to the local asylum office. been sending one letter for each for the 3 months. They sent a letter which has many pre-answered lines for people's asylym status inquiry and the one that was checked marked was our answer and that is (pending for further review or additional review and that's why it's taking longer if nothing happens in 6 months, let us know) that's all it says in thier response mail.
It never seemed like delay was due to backround /security check cos those answer was never checked in thier 3 responses.
He sent another status inquiry letter to asylum office but they sent same response and that is needs additional reveiw and didn't say when it will be decided.
My brother now has expired his tourist visa.
Should we contact our local US Congresswoman to intervene in this matter?
Should he himself write a letter or someone on his behalf like a citizen contact the Congresswoman and ask her t talk to local asylum office about the asylum decision case.
We intend to ask the congresswoman to tell the asylum officer to give my brother a YES/NO decision soon.
Is that a wise idea? Will that work?
You know it's so fraustating cos seems like it's gonna take many more months and years.
We are not damanding a approval soon. We are asking for YES/NO decision.
