i have gone through fingerpringing about a month ago for my asylum interview but i have not been scheduled the interview yet.i found in some internet link that there is a stipulation for INS to conduct the interview within 43 days. and its an immigration reform(1995) that they mumst conduct the interview within 60 days after they receive the application.within a week my application would complete 60 days but i have not heard anything from INS yet.though my fingerprinting has been done.please give your suggestion about what can i do in this situation.thanks ahead.
 
It's coming!!

They will notify you about your interview date don't worry. The time line you are citing is true when you are to be interview at the asylum office and/or when you are out of status. If you continue to have a valid immigration status ( like h1b visas, or f-1 visas) then the thing is a bit different. It is also different when the officer have to travel to interview you. So get ready and just wait, it's coming up.
 
thanks for your assurance Viapalermo and GCman2005.in my case the officer have to travel to have the interview.but my question is how long i have to wait.i am worried becoz from this forum i came to know that for some people the interview take even YEARS!
 
and some even missed "lost" the interview letter in mail... so be careful.

but if you have a lawyer for the asylum case "I hope you do", they will send him a copy of all letters...

Call the asylum office and ask about the interview date.
 
thanks assylum and raziel.
@assylum ,today according to your suggestions,i made a phonecall to the office and someone received my call.but she said that she doesnot know anything regarding my case.i described my situation in details.then she suggested me to write to the director of the office to schedule my asylum interview.what is your advice in this regard?please reply me.
@raziel, it is a concern that my attorney has not received anything from INS yet.like I receieved their notification of receipt of application and fingerprint notice but the attorney has not received anything.please suggest me in this regard.

i am waiting for your reply.
 
Well... sometimes I don't receive a letter from INS to find out that my lawyer received it !! it is crazy but lawyer's mailbox is considered a backup thing ... LOL

As for the phone call.... I suggest that you write to them or even visit them personally if they were nearby... you can always make an appointment via infopass :)

Which office did you call? Did you call the local asylum office or the main uscis office? The main uscis office has no access to the asylum pending cases.
I would suggest that you call the local asylum office again and you might be lucky to talk to an operator who is more experienced and knows what he/she is talking about. Keep in mind that everytime you call, somebody else might answer your call and not all employees will give you the same answer.

For some unknown reasons, my attorney did not receive the receipt notice/interview notice/fingureprint appointment. I got them 3 weeks after being received by the asylum office.

Few days after my interview, an officer sent a letter that I did not received. My lawyer received it and faxed it to me

raziel,
i tried to make infopass from internet but they mentioned that for a cas "WHICH HAS ALREADY BEEN FILED" has 4 specific category within which i can make infopass.but i found that my case like "after fingerprint finished but no scheduling of interview date" is not within those 4 categories.so what can i do now.please reply.
 
skip the infopass, call them to know when will they accept walkin visits... usually it is Friday, but call to make sure.

go to them on Friday and face them with your issue... and you can also ask them by phone.

keep us updated

How long are you been waiting for the interview notification letter??

I don't think they forgot about your case. I would just wait a bit more and you will see that they are gonna contact you sometime soon.
 
thanks assylum,faten and viapalermo.
@viapalermo, it has been 2 months after INS receieved my application.the the fingerprint has been done within 2 weeks and after that i have been waiting.

An INFO pass is not going to be too helpful.

Contact the asylum office to find out when they will interview you. You can offer to go to Chicago to be interviewed.
