Hello guys. I have a situation I wanted to share with you and I'm hoping someone can help out.
Here goes my father applied for asylum back in 2000 but never received an interview date or a decision on the case. In 2009 he decided with the help of his attorney, to reopen that application. He had an interview with AO but was sent to see a judge because of that original application that was deemed abandoned. In that said application, me along with my younger siblings they were 14 and 12 in 2000) and our mom were his derivatives. My father was thankfully granted asylum in 2011. We were all were subsequently granted derivative asylum. I was later denied asylum because I've been married since 2004(which is understandable)
Anyway my 2 younger siblings are still in Africa. Their approved case was sent to the consulate back home. They went in today for their interview. My sister got her visa but my brother didn't. He was told that they based the denial decision because of his age (23) on my father's case that was opened in 2009 I'm so sad right now because we thought that they couldn't deny his visa with an approved case.
Honestly is there anything we can do to help him out? Is it over for him? My parents will be speaking with their attorney soon.
Thanks
