If they reject your case, they will send your documents to the court before your pick-up decision date.

You can call the automated immigration court phone system to find if you are referred to court or not. The phone# is 800 898-7180. It is open 24/7.

If you are referred to court, your record will be in the automated system before the decision date. (usually 2-7 days before the scheduled decsion date).

If for some reason, your case is complicated, they may delay the decision or refer it to the headquarter


Wish for the best and prepare for the worst.

Dear assylum. Thank you for the info. Prayers yield miracles. I'm hoping for the best and preparing myself for the worst. Thanks again.

Devastation,
I pray that you will be approved but now tell us what would you do If you granted asylum?
 
Voip,

Thank you for that question. I think i would go back to school and pursue meeting my goals of life that's been frozen since long. I have had dreams to work for UN someday. May be the approval would revive that dream.

That's what I was thinking. You appear to be a very intelligent person. We keep our fingers praying that you will approved.

PS: Can you believe that some AOs visit this forum?
 
I would not be surprised about AOs visiting this forum. Thanks for your good words. Good luck for your endeavors too.
 
For me too you seems to be an intelligent person. hope you will be granted asylum and meet all your goals.
 
Somewhere in the forum, a dear friend to most of us, Assylum, said, "prayers helps so much". To me- its indeed true. I have seen many miracles in my life that only and only prayers have yielded. Offering tribute to it, i genuflect towards the prayers.

Guys, i'm ready to go and pick up my decision on the 3rd of December. As most of you are already aware- my case is a little complicated, and i really have a mixed feeling about it. In this situation- i ask you all to please pray for me and make another miracle turn up.

Thank you all in advance, i would cetainly keep you all updated.

with thoughts and prayers,

Dev

You will be granted.
 
A little update to you guys:

I just found out that i've been referred to IJ. I used the 1800# provided by "assylum" to find this out. I am now going to be on my way to pick up a not-too-pleasant official letter of referral.

The fight is not over!!
 
Guys, can you recommend me a top-notch immigration lawyer in San Francisco Area for my Court Referral.

Thanks again in advance.

Best- Dev

The denial letter states two points. Point 1 and 2. But point 2 is checked and the check box on point 1 is left blank. I dont know if both reasoning applies.


#1, where the box in UNCHECKED:

1 [] You have not demonstrated that an exceptionto the 1-year filing requrment applies in y case. In the period of time since April 1, 1997, no changes were found in applicable US law, country conditions, or your circumstances that would materially affect your asylum eligibility. You also have not shown extraordinary circumstances directly related to your failure to file your asylum application within one year of your last arrival.

#2 with the box checked

2 [x] Althought you have established changed circumstances materially affecting your eligibility for asylum, or extraordinary circumstance directly related to your delay in filing, you failed to file yor application within a reasonable period of time given those circumstances.


Guys, i'm guessing only the latter applies in my case. Please provide your insights.

Raziel: No worries buddy.

Thats not too bad Dev really in terms of being deemed credible with a good case and that circumstances have changed making you eligible to apply for asylum so now its how you can convince the judge about reasons why you did not file within a reasonable period of time after the change in circumstances. But like other said find a good lawyer even if it is expensive. It is worth it trust me

I am so sorry it didn't work this time but remember IO approve a very few percentage of asylum cases so don't give up. Now remember the one year deadline bar is a very serious issue and you need to address that right away with an experienced lawyer. Keep us posted!
 
Guys, another thing i just found out is that the IJ i'm being referred to has a significant percent of denial rate. His denial rate was 81.5 percentage for the period of 2000-2005.

My question is, is there a way i could request to change the Judge? or move my case to different juridiction?

Please advise!!!
