Hi everyone,
I am in a huge mess and I really really need your input on this matter.
I just recently confirmed that I was granted asylum early 2013.
I am now 2 years 4 months overdue on the deadline for filing the petition for my kids. Please I need your help, is there any way, or any chance that it may get accepted. My main reason for not filing on time was due to someone sitting on my results for more than 2 years and making me believe that it takes longer than normal because I filed after the one year deadline. I had read many accounts where people had waited for long periods so it did not occur to me that he had been lying, after all, he had always given me every piece of mail that I got from USCIS and others. I only got a copy of the letter of my grant last month when my work permit expired and I changed my USCIS address because I moved to a more permanent address, another state(I had been living from place to place). I started questioning myself out of our many conversations and so many things did not add up. In April this year, I wrote to my interviewing officer who was kind enough to send me a copy of my asylum grant and copy of the person who received it. Since I got it, I have been so stressed out and going out of my mind, the guy does not pick his phone up any more...I need answers. I have not seen my kids for 7, almost 8 years and I feel like all my hope is just passing by me right in front of my eyes. I have seen a lawyer and he doesn't seem to know where to start, of course quoting the 2 year deadline, time is running out, my daughter turns 21 in September. There is just too many things going on.
What are my chances and is there any good reason I can give except the one that someone lied and kept me my letter????
Every/any little help will be highly appreciated! Thank you
