Asylum derivate "aged out"
In 1997 my father was granted asylum, and along with his asylum was granted Asylum petition I 730 for his family of three kids and a wife. At the time of my entrance into the USA I was at the age of 15 and was under my father’s asylum case. I am the oldest of three kids, now at the age of 22. In March of 2004 we filed Adjust Status to permanent residence I 485, at which time I was at the age of 20. In the mean time I have been submitting evidence materials, photos and doctor examinations to the INS, as well as fingerprints and background check for the biometrics code 3. My mother, my brothers and I all submitted evidence, and gave fingerprints at the same time. Soon after, my youngest brother (current age 16) was asked to submit additional photos and was granted his green card. Soon after his green card approval my mother followed same process and received her green card. Since, my older brother (age 18) and I (now age 22) havent had any change in our status. I have inquired about my case status on line, and with the 1800 # however, haven’t gotten any help as to finding out what is going on with my case and where I am in the application process. I never received a notice about the “age out process” nor was I aware that I needed to be concerned with this issue, seeing as to how my father’s asylum carried my name on it, and I applied for adjustment of status before I turned 21.
I have asked for some legal advice, and what I was told is that I have “aged out” of the regular process for the I 485 and that I have a couple of options for further pursue of my permanent residence status. I was advised to file I 589 (Nunc Pro Tunc) along side of my fathers asylum and was told that such filing is a formality and will be granted. I am scared to start a new application process without fully being aware of where I stand in my regular I485 adjustment.
If anyone has any idea as to what I should do, whom I should contact, or know of anyone who might be able to advise what I should do next, please re-post. Any help at all at this point is appreciated.
