Hi, everyone. My mother got her asylum status in Nov 2000 and I got my asylum derivative in Sep 2001. Today I got the letter from immigration for request for evidence. This is what they say:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Evidence of record indicates that you were granted asylum in the United States as a dependent. As you were 21 years of age at the time your I-485 application was filed on Sep 20,2002, you were no longer eligible to adjust your status to permanent resident as a dependent. Service guidance requires that derivative asylees who no longer qualify as a spouse or child, be processed for asylum in their own right, " nunc pro tunc", to the date of their original grant of asylum.
Please complete a Form I-589, Application for Asylum, and return it to this office in the provided return envelope.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
At this point, I am frightened and panic! Obviously I have to file the application for Asylum form. But will I go through interviews for asylum? Do I have to wait for another whole new cycle? Please help me ! Replies are greatly appreciated!
P.S: Congratulations to the people who just got their GC! All of you guys deserve this! Good luck with everyone who is still waiting for their GC!
