Processing time for green card based on asylum
- Thread starter oliver_68
- Start date
I am sure it was lucky enough to get my asylum proceesed within 2 days. I was lucky I had the means to apply, and that the officer was a very empathetic officer. I am sure there are other factors that have nothing to do with me or my application. A lot of other applications might have the same merit, or even stronger, than mine did, but it's not just about how strong your application is. It's not all just and fair at all, and it's very easy to say that about myself and that my case is strong and its merit is what got me the asylum, but saying this dismisses how unfair and absurd the system is to so many other applicants who deserve (and need) this just as much, if not more. I feel we are a community, and we need to care for one another and not have hierarchy in how we approach our odds and applications. So yes, luck defintitely plays a part, and I am very thankful. I hope you and everyone else gets all they deserve in a timely manner! Sorry for the long emotional monologue <3 <3 much love to all of you!!!

I owe this country one for letting me in and offered me protection. So the least I can do is to join their army. That's my thoughts.
Thank you

Is it normal for fingerprints to be applied to your I-485 case abt 2 days after they receive your application?(applied with medical) Also how can I see the processing times for national benefits center for green card applications the uscis website only has 2 options Texas and Nebraska. Thank y’all for your help

In my experience, it can be the case, yes, but it doesn't mean more than what it is. It can also be the case that the system does not provide accurate timing
So if you apply asylum based they don’t call you for interview , correct?
What service center please?
I think you case is now either gonna be transferred to Nebraska or Texas
They are waiving the interview requirement for so many, and especially the most recent application, but that's not a hard rule. From what I heard, the interview - if it happens - would just be a technicality to go over some basic questions, unless there are red flags in the application that the applicant needs to worry about.
Makes sense! To me it’s just waist of time to interview people who got asylum. Will be filing in February hopefully will get it fast!

For i485? National Benefits Center received my case. And it was later transferred to a field office in Miami. I live in DC.
For i589, I don’t recall but it ended up being processed by the local office in Arlington.
I understand but on official website its says 36.5 months
That’s not correct and accurate . They just put that time there so we don’t reach out and bother them with case inquiry .
Also, I am waiting for Travel Document I131 for 10 months, is that's ok?
d
go to uscis website and doa e service request and find out whats going on
Have you done case inquiry ? Also if you really need to travel , provide the proof and request for expedition . Your last option would be the written mandamus but it cost money to hire a lawyer (I’m not sure if you can file on your own) and it might take up (2-4 ) months to get your case move forward . Unfortunately RTD takes longer because it’s not uscis priority but for sure green card is their priority since their recent announcement
Which announcement are you referring to? Please attach link

I have decided to do a mandamus since I haven't heard from my i-485 application for 1 year. I don't have a budget to give lawyers $4000-$5000. I heard that I can apply to the court by preparing the Mandamus case myself. If there is someone who can help with Mandamus, who has done it before, I would appreciate it if they DM to me.
