Hello everyone,
I am a new member here, so please if you would, place a legend on the bottom of your message(s) if you are going to use trems like ND, RD, AD, LUD, etc. cause i am not quite versed in them as of yet,
My status is as follows:
My parents applied for political asylum here and won the case last summer, June of 2005 and i and my sister just filed an extension for asylum - Derivative asylum application, which should be just a formality. CIS received applications on Dec 1 2005. USCIS website status page says typical processing times are ¨180-270 days¨, but ¨ the maximum processing time should be less than indicated since most of processing was done during applying for Asylum¨.
And from my understanding after I receive my asylee status that really doesn´t make me LPR, only gives me right to apply for EAD and maybe travel doc. And I have to wait 1 year after Asylum to apply for I-485,, and then some after applying to get a stamp in the passport and later a little plastic card, ;( ...
Unfortunately for me, 1 year from now I pretty much have to transfer to a public university, and I plan to join the military. University i want to apply to stipulates:
you must be either: a) Green card holder, b) be a refugee (nothing about asylees and no response from registrar´s office yet to my email) c) certain non-immigrant visa type holder (nothing like I have).
So, does anyone know if refugee IS or IS NOT acceptable for in-state tuition classification? And if not, is the stamp in passport sufficient, or they most likely want real card?
And now to the meat of the matter. Did I understand correcty that it takes on average 4 months from the receiving of I-485 to approval, which is immediately followed by an interview where you get a stamp? Can I hope that if I apply GC next june-august (2007), i will be called for an interview between september and December? And if things go slow, does writing conngressmen/women and maybe White Houyse directly help, if I explain why I urgently need a green card? And also, can I write BEFORE apllying for a green card, to waive 1 year waiting period, or to ask them to schedule my interview right after I file for I-485?
FYI - i file to Nebrska SC, and my local NSC is Detroit, MI (but i read somewhere that they don transfer I-485´s here anymore, only Chicago Lockbox).
Hope I was concise and informative enough, but if not, let me know and I´ll answer your questions as detailed as possible. I really hope that things will shift by the next summer, otherwise I wil have to miss a semester or two of school... Any advice is helpful and REALLY appreceited.
