Green Card thru Asylum

I recently filed for my Green Card thru Asylum. Everything went fine. I received a receipt saying that my application was received. I also did the fingerprint. I thought I did everything right. When I checked the status of my case online last nite, it was saying that they sent me a letter to request more evidence or information. I have not received the letter yet but I am a bit worried. According to most people, the GC thru Asylum is usually easy and straithforward. What could it be about? can someone give me a hint? The documents I presented are the following The I 485, the Medical Record, the G 325A, the I 94 and the judge's letter showing that asylum was approved, the birth certificate, the pictures,( I was once charged with selling alcohol to a minor and the case was later dismissed) I sent the paperwork showing that it was dismissed. Isn't the application complete at this point?
Please hints
Thanks

Plz don't tell me that you did a service request.

When did you file for your GC? I received the same email 2 days ago and I'm waiting for the notice too.
 
I don't think its anything that big of a deal. Well, at least I don't think so anyways. Someone told me that it could be anything...as minor as a missing signature, or even a signature on a photocopy...or something of that sort....

I'm a little worried about my own situation and I fear its got something to do with tax filing ( I failed to file for taxes for one of the states I lived in )....
 
Just an update. I did receive the request like an hour ago...it had a form ( part of the updated form which I believe fell under Part C related to "have you ever been convicted....received armed training etc..." ) that I was required to fill.

I believe I sent them the older version ( I sent my original GC app w/ a request for a fee waiver back in 45 days ) and it was silly of me not to bother to check the "requirements"...So I printed the same form when my request was rejected.

Anyways, without any delay, I shipped the required form and just got back. Hopefully, I won't have to wait for another 6 months like some people have had to after having submitted the request for additional evidence etc.

I was right. It had nothing to do with taxes. I think you worry too much. Relax man, you will get approved within 2 weeks. Start celebrating
 
Well, the things that my family's gone through over the past 3 years man......we were expecting my mom and brothers I730s to get approved way back along w/ my dad's GC... then we all thought my fee waiver would get approved...but due to USCIS' inconsistencies, you can never tell......Further, I'm yet to hear of people who've received their approvals within 2 weeks after sending the request for evidence/additional docs...
I tend to remain "silently hopeful" without getting too excited to prevent myself from getting hurt... But we shall see man. Thanks for your advices though.
 
Thanks man, those words reassured me dearly. Hope to receive mine later 2nite or 2morrow nite. i will let you know of it. Thanks
 
OMFG!!!! assylum, are you Nostradamus or something man?!?!! AMAZING STUFF!!!!! I received a notification for additional info on the 8th! Received the actual mail two days later ( on Saturday! ), I filled out the form the same day, mailed it...it reached NSC on Monday and here it is!!! Unbelievable. I know two people who've waited for over 6 months for their approvals despite having sent in the same things...!!

"On September 15, 2010, we mailed you a notice that we had registered this customer's new permanent resident status. Please follow any instructions on the notice.

Congratulation Walker,
I am happy for you. Enjoy your new life. Oh by the way, I am not Nostradamus. I believe that most of my prayers are answered. Glory to God.
 
Guys I don't get it
Guys I really need you guys to help me out here. I am an asylee and I applied for adjustment of status. Two months ago, they sent me for a request of evidence. I sent them back exactly what they wanted. Today, when I was checking the status of my application, guess what I read? They are requesting more evidence. What could it be?
I am confused and nervous.
Why is mine taking so long while a lot of folks I know say theirs didn't even take that long
 
don't worry om532635, maybe this is something new in the immigration. my dad has the same problem for about 5 years while his wife and sons got thier green card.
do not give up. send every single paper, and you will get it.

my advice: start applying for your family ( wife, sons) if you have.


good luck,
waiting to hear the good news:)
 
I'm waiting too..

1. Applied late Aug. Receipt date was adjusted to late Sept since my first fee check was reversed.
2. Did biometric end of Sept.
3. Current status: "... On 24 Sept ... we received your corrected payment of the filing fee on this I485 APPLICATION TO REGISTER PERMANENT RESIDENCE OR TO ADJUST STATUS. The case is being processed at our ''''' SERVICE CENTER location"

I'm waiting, but I have received no request for evidence yet. Also hoping I can get travel doc .. as I plan to travel for Christmas. I've missed cheap air tickets since I'm not whether I will get my travel doc in time
 
i think but not sure, for the medical record, you can go to some doctor offices and tell them you need a medical record for immigration. most of them have the requirments list.
you can get more information hen you call the USCIS , follow the instruction, you will get the information about it.

when i did mine, it was about 400 $, they did not accept transcription. it is business!
good luck
 
Hey Walker!

Can explain what is fee waiver something 45 days something, I didn't get that at all? And can you please post your timeline of getting GC thru asylum? Thanks a
lot.
-August 2 filed i485 based on asylum
-September 9 biometric app(rescheduled it because of hurricane flooding in ASC) -October 11 bio app done
- now waiting on, online still says initial review(why???) will rescheduling appointment affect processing times or I will have some issues, it's been 3 month?)

Manjeebos,
You should receive a decision soon if your background check process is complete.

Most common causes of a delay in I-485(asylum base);
1. IBIS name check returns a positive response
2. FBI name check is pending
3. FBI name check returns a positive response
4. FBI fingerprint rapsheet has a record
5. Inadmissibility bar 212(a)(3)(b)
6. Supervisor review
7. Alien file lost

If the application is affected by reason 1, 3, or 4, the file will be routed from the service center to the USCIS FDNS to resolve the issue. This causes a delay and if a delay is unreasonable, then you can file a Write of Mandamus.

Assylum, is the number 4 positive when an alien is arrested by ICE in immigration matters and held at county jails and then released on bond and subsequently wins an asylum?
And what's a supervisor review?

Yes, if you got arrested by ICE in the past for an immigration violation, you will have a record in the FBI fingerprint rapsheet. This may not cause the file to be routed to FDNS unless your IBIS or FBI name check results have a positive response.

Supervisor review is usually the last step of the adjudication and it happens to some applications when an adjudicator gets complicated applications. This review usually happens when your background check is complete and the application is routed back from FDNS/background check unit to the adjudication stage.
