I am so glad to find this forum with so many people ready to share your valuable experience.
I have a situation that needs your advise.
I arrived the state in 2002 as an F-1 student. My Asylum application was approved late 2003 and I submitted I-485 myself in Nov 2004. In my application package, I included the copy of passport, I-94 which was issued upon approval of asylum, and all asylum related doc. When I recently talked to my friend, he said I also need to submit the copy of my original visa and I-94 when I first landed the states. The immigration officer needs the doc to establish my non-immigration status in order to approve asylum based I-485.
My question is, is it sure that I need to submit my original visa and I-94 ?
If yes, should I voluntarily send them the doc, or should I just wait NSC to send me RFE.
I would assume that I will save some processing time if I send to them instead of waiting RFE, but I am not sure it is the right way to do.
I am really appreciate if you can give me some advise and suggestion, and share your experience with similar situation!
