Generally, your clock will be stopped when your actions interrupt or cause any delays in the decision of your case. If delays are requested or caused by the government, then your clock will not be stopped and it will continue to add days.If you are in removal/deportation proceedings, you may check your EAD clock by dialing the Immigration Court automated phone number 1-800-898-7180 and entering your A-Number.If your case has been referred to immigration court, you may submit an excuse to the asylum office showing that your absence was due to exceptional circumstances. If this is the case, you must be given another asylum interview and your clock must be resumed on the day of the new interview.If your case was closed and not referred to immigration court, you may write a letter to the asylum office asking them to reopen your case for good cause. If the asylum office decides to reopen your case, then your clock resumes on the day of your new asylum interview. Similarly, if you show that your absence was due to exceptional circumstances, your case must be reopened. Your clock will resume on the day of your new interview.The asylum clock is running when the case is referred to Immigration Court unless you failed to appear at an interview before USCIS or you failed to receive an Asylum Officer’s decision and the Notice to Appear. However, if your case is delayed at the hearing based on your request or because of a delay you caused at the initial hearing, then your clock will not start running until the next hearing.
