Hi Friends,
I applied for Asylum on 12/12/12. Despite of well gone interview my case has been referred to the Immigration Judge with schedule Master's Hearing of March. I think one of the primary reason that my case was referred to the Judge was because I filed for Asylum in 4 years instead of one year.
Since, I did everything on my own, now at this moment I am little confused of few things:
1. I have heard that the date for Master Hearing in NY takes at least 1 or 2 years because of the flow of applications. Is this true?
2. Secondly, though I have not done anything and since my clock is still running, will this still stop my clock and forbide me away from my EAD if I took lawyer now. Or, in other words, if I go to court on my Master hearing and ask my Judge to allow me for EAD and do not stop my Clock as I want to work to pay my lawyer - does this gives me more chances of getting EAD or my taking Lawyer now will not affect at all as long as my clock is ticking.
Thanks,
