John Smith: I don't think there is a change in the immigration Laws. I think the only case we have seen so far is a mistake by the adjudicating officer. If there were a change in the laws we would have seen it all over the media. And the provision that governs the backdating of asylum applications states, "5) is admissible (except as otherwise provided under subsection (c)) as an immigrant under this Act at the time of examination for adjustment of such alien. Upon approval of an application under this subsection, the 3/ Secretary of Homeland Security or the Attorney General shall establish a record of the alien's admission for lawful permanent residence as of the date one year before the date of the approval of the application."

For those whose case was backdated from the date of grant of asylum. Enjoy it....

His situation was different from yours. He needed to complete the nunc pro tunc processing which is just an annoying formality.

What you are facing is more uncertain and precarious.

It may not be completely true that the law has to change and that it would be all over the place (media, websites etc). Sometimes USCIS could issue so-called 'memo' (unfortunately most of the time - internal memo) and continue processing.

You are right. My case was nunc pro tunc, and I already got my greencard. It was just a formality....
