1.when will i receive my final approval ? A. No body can tell you that.
2.i Can`t actually calculate my 150 days can you please help!!? A.you don't need to wait 150 days if you recieve a recomended approval you can immidiately apply for EAD.
3. regarding your family members You may request derivative asylum status for any spouse or child (unmarried and under 21 years of age) who is not included in the decision and with whom you have qualifying relationship, whether or not that spouse or child is in the United States. To request derivative asylum status, you must submit a Form I-730, The Form I-730 must be filed for each qualifying family member within 2 years of the date you were granted asylum status. but remember you may apply this only after you recieve the final approval decision. good luck.

Yes, that is your receipt number (znk followed by ten numbers), I will attach you the website below, but you will be able to see your status only if USCIS made a final approval decision on your case, until then it will read like this "Your case can not be found at this time in My Case Status ..."
https://egov.uscis.gov/cris/Dashboard/CaseStatus.do

You will receive the final approval when USCIS receives the result of your FBI name check. USCIS has no control over this process. You have to wait until the name check gets cleared. There is no time frame for the name check process. Some people wait for weeks only and some people wait for months. No body knows how long it takes. Mine took almost 6 months to receive a final approval after getting a recommended approval.

You are eligible to apply for EAD (C08)(ii) because you already have a recommended approval. After you get your EAD (C08)(ii), you can apply for a restricted SS card.

Based on a recommended approval that you received, you should do the following:
1. Apply for EAD(CO8)(ii)
2. After you get your EAD(CO8)(ii), apply for a restricted SS card.
3. After you get your EAD(CO8)(ii) and SS card, apply for a driver license.

You don't need to wait for a final approval. Final approval sometimes take time for some people. I got my final approval 6 months after I received the recommended approval. Good luck

I too am having a hell of a time trying to change the status of my wife and children. They were paroled into the US at the same time we sought asylum at the US/CAN border. According to a certain Ms. My Hahn Trahn and her supervisor Ms. Rice at the USCIS in San Bernardino, that my wife and children would first need to see a judge since my grant of asylum only prevents me from being deported back to our country and not a "win" on my asylum case. And that I can only file for their I-730's AFTER I receive my I-94 which is 30 days from my grant (15 June 2011). According to both Ms. Trahn and Ms. Rice, I should not apply for a Social Security card BEFORE receiving my I-94. How can I apply for any of the benefits that comes with being granted an asylum if the Department of Social Welfare won't process us without our SSN's? Based on my knowledge, there are certain benefits that comes with being granted asylum such as the "Match Grant" (time sensitive and must be enrolled within 30 days of asylum grant!) and Financial Assistance. I tried to reason with them based on the information in their website but I was quickly dismissed and shunned away from their office. I feel discriminated as I was told by both Ms. Trahn and Ms. Rice that I am "Sh*t out of luck" and that there is nothing they will do to help me. If there is anyone out there willing to shed some light to my dilemma, please do not hesitate to PM me or e-mail me (mksu19@yahoo.com). Thanks in advance and may everyone be blessed with an approval for their relief!

It is not at all clear from your post if you were granted asylum, regular withholding, or withholding under CAT.

mksu19,

SSA office follows a procedure when they issue SS cards for asylees/refugees. They have to use the online verification system called "SAVE" to verify the USCIS decision or the EOIR phone system to verify the judge decision and the DHS attorney decision. If your case decision doesn't show in any of these 2 systems, then they won't be able to process your request.

I don't know what your current status is? Where you granted asylum, WOR, or something else?

I was granted asylum on June 15, 2011 while in detention at the NWDC in Tacoma, WA. and was issued by the presiding EOIR judge a document that clearly indicated that I was granted asylum and that the DHS waived its right(s) to appeal. The SSA officer did tell us about verifying the IJ's decision and the document. I was given my old SSN back but he said that my wife and children would have to present their passports (?) or any type of verification. I told him that the border agents confiscated all our documents when we presented ourselves including our ID's and refugee papers from Canada. My wife and kids did have a certified copy of their passports and ID's. He also said that we should go to a USCIS office to have them re-issue a new I-94 (???) for them. The USCIS officers in San Bernardino were of no help as they refused to do anything for us other that educate me on the asylum process!
