Processing time for green card based on asylum
- Thread starter oliver_68
- Start date
Hi Congrats! Please could you tell me the list of documents you sent with your form I-485?
Was your green card obtained through political asylum or lottery?
Political asylum
Oh that’s cool! Some good news. Otherwise more you learn about the limitations, the sadder it becomes.
Hi,
I submitted I485 8 Aug 2023 and case was updated to fingerprints were taken on 15 Aug 2023 and no updates after that. Its been more than 15 months. I checked with Emma and connected to a live agent she said nothing more is needed from me. Does anyone have similar experience, pls give me some advice on expediting the case.

Actually I was afraid too but I asked the officer too he said no issues he want to make sure I don’t visit cop Any 3rd country is fine with cop passport not cop country
Thanks for the information great man!

May 2023: Granted asylum
July 2023: I was reluctant to submit I-485 because of the one-year residency requirement. I only submitted I-131 and paid I-131 filing fee.
(Sep 2024: I received my RTD.)
Sep 2023: Since the stats showed the processing time for I-485 is more than a year, I submitted I-485 and paid I-485 filing fee.
(passed 1 year mark after being granted asylum, but still waiting for adjudication)
Oct 2024: I submitted I-131 for the second time because I know it will take more than a year. However, I didn't have to pay I-131 filing fee because my I-485 application is still pending. Please note that I submitted I-485 before a cut-off date as part of the fee increase. (Sorry I didn't recall the exact date). If you did file I-485 before that date but didn't file I-131 concurrently, you should do so to save the I-131 filing fee. After that date, you have to pay I-131 filing fee no matter what!

Mine took about 15 months, so you will get yours soon! Wait a little longer. Then, if you plan to travel next year, you should file your second RTD right away.

I filed mine a month after yours and I am still waiting as well. I am worried too because people here and there who filed after us already got their green cards. There was even one guy who got their green card already on hand in less than a year after being granted asylum.
Frankly, it's perplexing how USCIS works. There seemed to be a pattern, but then again not! I want to have mine within 2024, but I think we only have to wait and see.

No, I didn’t. I need it to travel. Anyway, I included the approval notice in the application. By the time I get an RFE, my current RTD must have already been expired.
