Hello, This message is regarding inquiring about the status of my stay in the USA once I give up my Asylum status. I applied for political Asylum status in 2018 and currently on work authorization till April 2022 working for Home Depot in Dorchester, NY. My case is still pending and so far I have not had any hearing as well. I have finally decided to give up my asylee status and return to my home country as I no longer have any threat back home. My current passport issued by the Indian government has expired and I am in the process of renewing it. I have few questions regarding my application and impact on it once I withdraw my case:
1. Will Indian Embassy renew my passport? I have not yet granted asylum yet, so legally I am still a citizen of India by birth.
2. When should I renew my Indian passport? Once I surrender my Asylum status or prior to that?
3. Once I surrender my status, how many days legally can I stay in the country and can I work till my work permit expires?
4. What are some of the consequences I might have to face once I surrender my asylum status? Will the Indian government issue me a new passport or will I get a Travel document just to travel back to my home county?
Thank you
