What is the difference between "conditional asylum" and "asylum?"

I was given asylum by IJ and there were no conditions. How do I know what type I have?

Are you a Chinese national?

No, I'm not. And, I'm pretty sure I've got regular Asylum, but I want to see if anyone knows the difference.


Before May of this year a specific type of asylum was granted to Chinese nationals on a conditional basis because the law limited the number of these approvals to 1,000 a year. There was already a large waitlist of eligible people. So conditional asylum meant that you had to wait until a number became available to you for a full asylum grant. People with conditional status had very limited rights.
