Detained by ICE

elly said:
We went to the asylum Unit and they told us that they could not help us because the IJ granted my husband the Asylum..

Went back to the Immigration Court and they told us only my husband got asylum because he was in proceedings but not us.. Why did the IJ take my daughters and my pictures and asked if we are in the application and if were present at the hearing which I was and he was writing something on another paper..


Im lost can someone please help.

I am lost too. You and your daughter should have got derivative asylum status. However, your husband can do a follow to join since you were married before the asylum grant. Your husband will have to fill out form I-730 to petition for you and your daughter. You really don't need an attorney for this. However, if your attorney owes you service, have him fill it out for you guys.
 
Thanks mesbahul.... We have filled out the form I-730 with supporting docs and sent it today.. please pray that it gets approved and soon, because I have been reading that it could even take 2 years which is scary.

Our stay ends on the 4th of Jan so we will be out of status.. any advice would be appreciated.
 
My husband has petitioned for us.. we went for our biometrics on the 24th of december.. my daughter's was code 2 and mine code 3...

what to expect now? I checked our status on uscis website it says initial review.

Can I apply for a work permit while our case is pending?
