I don't understand when they quote:
"Sec. 209.2 Adjustment of status of alien granted asylum.
The provisions of this section shall be the sole and exclusive procedure for adjustment of status by an asylee admitted under section 208 of the Act whose application is based on his or her asylee status.
(a) Eligibility.
(1) Except as provided in paragraph (a)(2) of this section, the status of any alien who has been granted asylum in the United States may be adjusted by the director to that of an alien lawfully admitted for permanent residence, provided the alien: (Amended effective 7/6/98; 63 FR 30105)
(i) Applies for such adjustment;
i) Has been physically present in the United States for at least one year after having been granted asylum;
and why are we allowed to leave the country then? Doesn't that affect our application for the GC?
