I have AOS application for myself and my family pending for more than six months now.
My current status is a \'asylee applicant\' which I applied for back in 1992 and the case never been adjudicated.
So I have technically legal status but my wife and kids who are the beneficiaries of the application came here to the US in 1996 on B2 visa.
I had a consultation with an immigration attorney upon their arrival and he assured me that they will be grandfathered by my application if I\'m granted the asylum (the chance of this happening now is zero).
When we filed I485 for my wife we didn\'t bother to include supplement 245
since my current laywer suggested not to do this.
I started having some doubts after reading some postings on this message board where we\'ve seen applications being denied on the ground of not having the supplement form submitted when required.
I\'ve heard that INS in certain cases allows people to file this form and pay $1000 fine at the latest.
Do you think I can do anything at this point or I just have to sit back and brace myself for the worst?
Thank You for your generousity in helping this community!
