Processing time for green card based on asylum

[Asylee11]

I believe the government has chosen not to release any official memos or policy updates regarding green card processing for asylum seekers, likely because previous attempts like travel bans and other restrictions
were often challenged in court. It’s possible they’re taking a more cautious, behind-the-scenes approach this time. We’ll need to wait and see if any changes emerge in the coming months. Overall, it appears the new administration may be quietly shifting its policies without formal announcements.

I AGREE 100% and most likely that is what's gonna happen!!!!

+1 I'm also wondering if anyone has recently travelled abroad with RTD and how their experience was.

I have the same question. Waiting for clarification about the travel ban now! I am going to change or completely quit my travel plans based on how the travel ban will be carried out in the next couple of months.

Same! I just cancelled my trip to Europe this summer. I haven’t seen my dad in 8 years and was so excited when I got the passport. However without a green card it’s a useless piece of paper

This means that if you have a refugee travel document and you live in the United States, you do not need a visa to enter Hungary for a stay of up to 90 days. Your travel document must have a validity of 3 months at the time of your departure from Hungary.

I recommend emailing the embassy to be 100% sure.

What about Asylee? It's not annotated apparently.

I’m assuming it’s the same as refugee. When I open my passport it says refugee travel document but I have asylum

I meant for the Hungarian visa requirement

 

[Ptania08]

I meant for the Hungarian visa requirement

It’s the same travel document for refugee/asylees just category is different

 

[ROP]

What about Asylee? It's not annotated apparently.

I think it is referring to those with a refugee travel document regardless of whether they are asylees or refugees. As long as your travel document has the word "refugee" in it, you should be fine.

I would email the embassy and ask to be sure.
