Hi everyone, i just want to share with all of you my experience while arriving to POE. I left on December 22 and came back on January 7 to Miami ( even after that FACT SHIT or SHEET , same thing , was posted ) . Inmigration officer just asked me how long was my trip. Nothing else was asked to me.
I wont lie, i was a little bit concern when returning to USA after 6 years of not visiting me country. It was worth the wait, I hope no one get scared of a piece of paper where BCIS people write down their comments based on how they feel one day and not based on how things really are.

By the way, is there any difference between a AS6 and AS8 visiting COP? My dad is planning to visit grandma? Should he be afraid??

You are a derivative. It doesnt matter for you. USCIS even released a memo stating derivatives are ok to go.

If USCIS releases a memo that AS6 are ok to go, we would all frame it and carry with us all the time..
 
AS8 (and AS7) means derivative asylee, which means you need NOT worry go back COP at the first hand. The BCIS fact sheet only applies to AS6.
 
I have a question , how can I find out if I derivative asylee or not .
I know my question could be a little silly the thing is my husband
applied for asylum we got the status , and on interview officer questioned
me as well , so on asylum approval there is my husband's name and not
mine .It says " this grant of asylum includes your dependents listed
above
who are present in the US -,were includedin your asylum application,and
for whom you established a qualifying relationship by a preponderance of
evidence "
so , he re is my question am I derivative asylee or just asylee ?

Who is listed on the approval letter?

In whose name was the application filed?

It is easy to find this out. The person who is listed FIRST on the asylum approval letter is the principal. The principal is also the person to whom the letter was addressed. If your husband is the principal the letter will say Dear Mr.

Also check your copy of the asylum application.
 
thank you very much thankful for your response I will check applicaation for asylum , and on approval letter it does say Dear MR.... ( my husband's name on it only ) thanks a lot and I will let you know about application .

Gc As8

This is my first time posting a question in the page after reading articles for about 2 months.
My question is the following:
I have a GC AS8 for political asylum thru my dad. He died last year in colombia and I need to go this year to solve some "issues". What should I take in consideration if a I decide to travel to my COP (Colombia)? and also, would i have any problems coming back to the usa?

Thanks for your help!!

read questions #2 completely, the most recently answer to your question by a uscis officer is there.



I-131 Refugee Travel Documents for Derivative Asylees/Refugees: Do derivative asylees have the same restrictions as the principal Asylee/Refugee in terms of traveling to their country of origin?

Derivative asylees who return to their country of origin are evaluated differently. Because they become asylees based on their relationship to the principal applicant, they do not need to independently establish asylum eligibility. Therefore, we would not terminate a derivative asylee's status based on reavailment.
