Hi folks,
My asylum was granted by the IJ 5 months ago and now I'm prepping up for my GC. I thought its better to get a head start in advance than rush when the time come. I read that a birth certificate is required with I-485. But is that also the case for asylees? My family had to run away from our house with hardly any belongings due to issues they had. I had a visa so I came here. They can't get my birth certificate or non-availability certificate since they are hiding. I think mine might not be a unique case...many asylees have this issue. Does the USCIS have exceptions about this? Any experiences applying for GC without BC?
