visiting the country the asylum was granted from
- Thread starter mrv71
- Start date
Well, do you feel safe going back to he country that persecuted you? I think that is the only concern you need to have. If you got your green card through marrying a citizen this means that your asylum application is annuled. I have my green card now but i would never even think of going back because i am certain i will be killed.
Good luck
Could you please tell me ?
You said you got your green card through marrage after getting asylum. Could you please tell me what the process is.

Waiting for your reply

I think you said that you got married after getting asylum and got your green card through marriage.
Could you please tell me how the process works.I granted asylum in 2001 and got married to my american wife in 2003 and we have a son together. I don't want to wait for 9 years to get my green card through asylum. Please help me in showing how you do it.
Thanks

Re: Could you please tell me ?
Another important thing you have to know is that you don`t have to withdraw your asylum application until after you get your GC through marriage.
I do have an an American wife to whom i`ve married since June 2001.If i don`t get anything from BCIS within a few months,then she will have to sponsor me as an immediate family.
Good luck.
I strongly suggest that you go ahead and start the process,it`s going to be much easier and quick for you to aquire a green through marriage than it will be through asylum.You are first of all, going to get conditional residence most likely one year after you file, then the conditions will be lifted two years thereafter on condition that you are still married to the same woman.That is much better that waiting until 2012 even more for the GC through asylum.Go for it don`t even hesitate.

If you are married to an American, you can easily resolve your problem. Just submit the I-130/I-485 to the local BCIS office. You do not even need a lawyer, you can fill out the forms yourself. As soon as your interview and background checks are complete, you will get your PR status. In three years you get your citizenship (while many here still waiting for PR).
All it costs is a few hundred bucks. An easy decision and go for it without anymore delay.

Re: Re: Re: Could you please tell me ?
Are you saying that i can file for Citizenship two years after i aquire asylum based GC?It will be 3 years in June of yr 2004 in our marriage.Can you quote where you got that from.
If i`m not mistaken, I had that if a spouse files I-130 for an allien like after the second anniversary in the marriage,conditions are
exempted if 2 yrs are elapsed at the time of filing.
Do you by any chance have any enlightment of what i`m talking about?

A person who has had a green card for three years AND has been married to a citizen for three years is eligible for naturalization right away. While I am not 100% positive (I am going to confirm this with someone), I think it does not matter how the person acquired her green card.
Since asylum-based green card is backdated one year, two years after your receive yours you should be deemed to have been a permanent resident for three years. If you also will have been married to a citizen for at least three years, you should be able to file a N400 at that time.

Green cards issued to spouses are valid only for two years after which they will look at the marriage again to make sure it is for real. But if on the date of approval the marriage is already two year old, then this does not apply and you will receive a normal green card (it is not filing an I-130 two years after marriage but is getting final approval two years after marriage).
In your case if you apply you should get a normal GC if the case is finalized after June 2003. When will you expect to get your asylum-based GC? If it is longer two years, I would encourage you to apply for a spouse visa right away.

With due respect i may disagree with you a little bit.It is true that a person who has had a GC for 3 yrs is eligible for naturalization only and and only if the GC is based on marrying an American citizen other than that it`s a fairy tale story.
confirmed
spoke with a lawyer who deals almost exclusively with naturalization cases. It does not matter how the GC was obtained. The basic requirements are having received the GC for three years, married to the citizen for three years and the citizen must have been a citizen for the entire period too.

Re: confirmed
I called the BCIS toll free number and they told me what i told you but anyway according to other sources i contacted,you might be right.My wife has been an American even before she was born.

If you want to pursue this, my suggestion is to open the yellow pages and call the immigration lawyers in your area to see what responses you get. Or if you send me a private message I will give you the e-mail address of a lawyer for you to contact and get the correct information.
Another thing is the toll-free line give incorrect information more often you might think.
