Processing time for green card based on asylum

[OSCARITO]

Hi guy! Just want to let everyone know that my status had changed. I was stuck on "fingerprints were taken on July 17th" 2020. But now it has changed "Card was mailed to me". I think I'll get it in the next few days.

Congratulations !!! A year waiting but it is worth it. I am jealous.

My status still is Fingerprints Applied 7/17/2020 I applied 6/10/2020 I guess it takes a whole year to get approved.

Iam still waiting for them to reschedule fingerprints very depressed

My status shows "Fingerprint fee was received and Our National Benefits Center location is working on your case" my question is that is normal process ? wont be any interview for based on asylum applications right ?

what is PD ???

Priority Date. =) The date they first received (not opened) your application.

Also. After 1.5 months I finally received the notice of action for the EAD. I was able to talk my attorney into applying for one even though he thought it would be rejected bc we didn't send the fee. So now let's see how long the actual EAD takes to come in the mail.

I heard somewhere that if your social security is unrestricted you dont need the EAD ?

Correct, but I never got one when my asylum was approved. I decided to wait to get the GC. At the time there weren't this huge delays we're seeing now. And unfortunately now the SSA offices are closed where I live, so I can't get an unrestricted SS card. =(

Do you have a social security card? does it say anything other the the social security number?

You are correct. I just got a job last week without an EAD. I used my SSN since I got an unrestricted one immediately my asylum was approved.

Yes, I do, but it's the one that says "with DHS authorization."

If it says that your social security is restricted and you do need a valid EAD card - that is what I heard. Call your attorney.

Mine doesn’t say anything other than social security lol

I think it's just a matter of luck. I didn't asked them to speed up the case. I can't say anything regarding the connection between i-730 expedition and i-485, if they did something in my favour, I'm gratefull to them

Hi my friend! Is there any news on your case after the RFE?

 

[Ramezq1992]

How long does the process take in Nebraska center ? Like average

From the inputs of people here it is taking about a year.

And since I haven’t submitted the medical report does it take long after that ?

They will send you RFE, when you receive that you send your medical exam form, when USCIS receive it, it will take them about two weeks to process it and mail the card to you.

That doesn’t sound bad. Thank you so much

We are family of five, 4 medical exams are done and fifth will be ready on Tuesday . Hopefully by next week I will be able to mail whole bunch (As they mentioned in request letter that all five i-693 should be mailed together )

 

[oliver_68]

Awesome! Good luck Did they mention in the letter how much time they need to process the forms and send you the card?

 

[oliver_68]

You are welcome I deeply appreciate all those who shared their experience in this post since it helped all of us get an idea about the wait time on both centers.
