Hi guys, finally after sailing a lot in internet looking for answers, I found your portal forum. Please I need some advice:
I came to USA in Dec 2004, then I applied for political asylum for myself (I don't have money for an lawyer) on May 2005. I had an interview with an Immigration Officer in Miami in Aug 2005, my case is a solid case (I left the country because was an ex- Officer of the Armed Forces against a dictatorship regime). USCIS told me that the answer processing time for my political asylum was about 1 month, after the last hurricane hits Fl. I went to the USCIS Offfice in Miami, thinking in a info losted in the mail, but instead I received a letter with the current condition of my petition: in process, pending. I'm desesperated, I don't suppose to work legally until February but I have 2 kids (7 years old and 6 months old) and my wife to feed. Is it "normal" all this time of waiting? I'm living of friends help, I know at least my family is safe, but I want to start my new life now. Where can I ask by phone for the situation of my case?. For USA, how I supposed to live until the final answer date?
I really appreciate your serious advice.
