what i want to say is that i am here in USA before 7 months from now. I applied my asylum before 2 months from now and i give finger print 7 weeks from now. I have no job permit or money except breathing fresh air. SO should I schedule my interview in Chicago or waiting for response from Kansas IO? Thanks
Hi, this is from my own personal point of view and I maybe not right,
but if I were you, I would stick/stay with the Kansas IO,
because rescheduling an interview usually might affect your "clock".
As you know, they will give you permit to work 6 months after they receipt your asylum application (and if the application is still pending).
The most important thing for you right now, is to get income.
and in order to get income you need to wait 6 months.
if you move your case to Chicago, it might stop your clock,
and if your clock stopped, it will further delay the time when you can get your job permit.
Plus further delay in your case processing might happen... due to transfer of document....
or sometimes, your document might be missing during the transfer,
thus cause more problem.... which will in the end result in DELAYED interview again...
I understand that you want your asylum interview asap,
but it is more important for you to be able to get income soon,
so you can still be alive to fight another day (when they finally call for your interview).
Even if you had to wait 1 year before you finally got interviewed,
but as long as you can get a job permit about 4 months from today,
you will be able to wait for that interview to come.
I think it is best if you keep on contacting Kansas IO every week,
just to make sure you get updated on the progress of your case.
What do you think?
