A federal judge this afternoon ruled for the AILF in the asylee adjusment lawsuit against the DHS/DOJ.

Details soon.

The main point of the decision is that the BCIS MUST use immediately the 20000 asylee adjustment numbers that the INS wasted in previous years. This would shorten the backlog.


The Government has not indicated if it will appeal the decision.
 
This is great news for asylees who are waiting to be adjusted. I hope the goverment is reasonable about it and does not waste further time by appealing the decision....

Regards,
 
It would be really low if they appeal the decision. Any reasonable person would understand what we are going through. And after all, USCIS said that they can not do anything because there is a law that allows only 10000 GC a year. Now, it is a different story and they should not have any excuse.

And again, you never know what will be their next step. Every time you think you saw everything, they supprise us with something new. Long live the USCIS :D

I hope you know what I mean.

Hi Guys,

I'm new to this forum and I'm so glad to login for the first time with such great news.

When can we know if the government decided to appeal the decission?

Any Idea?

Also, I was reading all the information at AILA's website, and the court also ordered to use numbers erroneously used before, like Syrians, Iraki Kurdos and some others. Do you have any idea about how many are they?

The unused numbers are about 22.000

Another question that I have is if the 10000 adjustments for the fiscal year 2003-2004 are included in the NOV/99 date, in other words if this Fiscal year's numbers have been already assigned.


Thanks guys and I'm glad that I found you.

Flashington,

Welcome to the forum and I hope that value adding is mutual for this forum and you. Best of luck ...

Regards,
 
I hope the government will not appeal. Otherwise they're just trying to screw us up. It's in nobody's benifit to delay asylee adjustment.
 
how about a law suit to make up for time lost towards obtaining citizenship?
when congress inacted the one year law they had in mind that after 5 yrs toltal an asylee is able to apply for citizenship,
Now it's taking between 8-10 years average to get it

I hate to be the only pessimist here but let us think of the implications of this ruling. The 22000 visas will do little to decrease the backlog. First of all, there are many people in this forum who were supposed to get their green cards long time ago (such as sisanaga and mirele's husband). So, these people count in the 22, 000 visas. Second, many people applied on or before nov 30 1999 and they did not get any green card yet this year so the pattern of not using visas will continue. Finally, there are 150000 asylee waiting for the green card so the backlog will move to august 2000 at best by the end of this year. This means that the 11 year waiting period will still exist considering the sheer number of asylee applicants. To add insult to the injury, i believe that the people of the immigration service will continue to be frugal about giving the visas and the judge's ruling will eventually mean nothing. So what is the solution? Congress has to really change this damn law about the 10000 quotas. We need to have a lobbyiest and we need to sign petitions like people in the other forums do. .. We need action and we should not be fooled by this court decision. Gilbert i would appreciate your feedback about my analysis.

about Sessanga Charlesa

I honestly do not know what is going on with Sessanga Charlesa. He has been visiting this site reguarly and does not post anything. He also ignores private messages everybody has been sending him.

As I recall, he received a RFE last July and I am not sure it really takes them that long to make a decision.

Gilbert i`m a busy person i do not have time to be stressed out cause of BCIS.My wife has been in poor health conditions although she is greatly improving.

Igot tired of waiting for the approval.Right now we`re in the final preparations of submiting another petition since my wife is a us citizen.

If you can remember the memo i posted in early 2003, I was fired from my last job due to retalition after exposing the company for discrimination,The case has also consumed much of my time.

I have not ignored this forum but i`m a very very busy person.

I am sorry to hear about your family health problems.

What happened to the asylum-based I-485? If they do not want to approve it, they have to give a real reason. FYI, asylum-based I-485s are the easiest to get approved, of adjustment applications.

Do you have an attorney?

The last response i got from BCIS dated 01/02/04 states that the case is presently with an officer for reveiw and adjudication.

That correspondence could be received in 4-6 weeks.

signed by congressional liason.

7 weeks have now past since i got the response still waiting
 
I do not know what your problems are. It seems like the BCIS issues a RFE to almost everyone. People who supposedly used fraud to come in the country are asked to fill out an I-602 to excuse their conduct. Rasylee, who used an altered passport, had his waiver approved without any issues. This means that they have a relatively relaxed attitude.

And what do you mean by filing another petition? Do you know that it will take two years to process, minimum?

Also, since BCIS believes that you used a fradulent visa to enter, this fraud issue will not go away even if your spouse applies for you.

I suggest you consult an attorney immediately.
