Chicago not only worse place to ask for asylum, it's also worse place to live in the us. The most criminal city, minus 205 billions in budget, managed by idiots, worst roads in the country. I dont know what to add more

I've been living in Chicago since 2016. I think it's very affordable here compared to NYC and California and the job market is ok for some types of industry. Terrible weather here but not as bad as the humid south.

I'm pretty sure the Chicago asylum office has been shut completely since March 20. Nobody works there right now so don't send an inquiry. I don't know why they wait 2 years after interview to make a decision.
 
I programmed a reptile to sort out recent Chicago cases.
I saw one case ZCH20433***** was given decision today May 1st. This case was interviewed Feb 02.
This is not my case so I cannot disclose the case number.
But this demonstrated Chicago starts to work in May.
Stay positive.
 
Have a pending asylum decision since 2016:
Any news regarding to Nebraska office decision making? thank you everyone and stay safe in this coronavirus pandemic...

Hello everyone,

My first post here. Has anyone noticed that checking your case status on USCIS website returns now a different message? It now says "Application Is Pending" instead of "Decision Pending" for me? It was showing "Decision Pending" for me for a few months until it changed to "Application Is Pending" two days before. FYI, I have had my interview a year ago so waiting for decision.

When did you apply, when was interview and which office?
When did the asylum office mail you the court referral notice? I don't think they can schedule a date for the court hearing because no one knows when the courts will be open

Hello. I lived in Chicago 2007-2014. I worked, went to school there. I also got my asylum from the Chicago office. My Green Card was adjudicated by the Chicago field office. So, technically, I'm a Chicago person.

Do I have issues with the city? Sure. I still owe a few unfair tickets from the city. Endured the hegemony of the Chicago asylum office and the field office. Some of my darkest days in America, I endured them in Chicago.

However, I would like to also say that i'm thankful for all the tough and difficult stuff the city threw at me. I think I grew to be super tough. If you survive the Chicago system, I tell you my friend, you can go to any city in the US and not only succeed, but thrive. Chicago builds character.

Notes:
*violence confined, largely, to certain places.
*it is not the worst place to live - it's a thriving city. I'm in life sciences, the good firms like Abbot, Abbvie, etc are there. Since i'm this industry, won't be surprised if i'm back in Chicago one of these days.
*Correct, Cook county riddled with corruption.
*Their roads, no different than what I have seen across the country, including Denver, NYC, Boston etc.
*They have the worst winters - I think I once wrote a story complaining about the winds, the darkness, the cold.

On the whole, in the final analysis, I have fond memories of Chicago. Even of the Chicago Asylum office, the Immigration Court, the USCIS Field Office, etc.

I have visited Chicago many times and love the city! Again not sure how it is to live there and how the corruption affects day to day life of residents. I don’t mind the winters and found them similar to Boston or NY. But yes, it’s windy. I have a close friend there and he lives in the River North area. I don’t think the areas around downtown are unsafe and there is a lot of night life with people walking around at 2 am (including girls).

However I have heard bad stories about Chicago asylum office and immigration court. So if you have an option, I suggest not to apply from there. They seem to have a poor grant rate.
 
I want to give update on my case I posted here before that my EAD clock was running but pending days were not adding up. I sent e-mail to asylum office where I had an interview in January in New Orleans sub-office.

"Unfortunately if you are checking your case status online, the program does not reflect the up-to-date total at this time. We apologize for any inconvenience, but please be assured that your decision is currently pending with USCIS and that we do possess accurate information in regards to your EAD clock."
 
My clock started again exactly after 3 months and it's been 4.5 months since interview. Does this mean anything? May be AO touched the file again?
 
hi guys,

how long the working permit/EAD process usually takes time if you apply after the 180days timeframe? is it still 30 days, or anyone had it in shorter period than that? (2 weeks maybe?) and will it come in the same mail/envelope with SSN or different one? thanks
 
Hello Every one,

My wife has applied for Asylum in 2017, and we have been interviewed in April 2017, New Orleans.
The case is under my wife, and I am with here in the case with my kids.
I hole an F1 visa and will hold it till 2022. We want to travel to my home country for 3 months.

Is there a way we can travel and come back to the US after 3 months?

Usually it’s still the same time but some people get it faster.

No. Social Security Card come form Social Sercurity Office but EAD from USCIS.

"Decision was mailed" could mean a lot of things:
1. Decision was mailed and the EAD colck is currently running, could be referral to court (if out of status) or Notice of Intention to Deny (in status).
2. Decision was mailed and the EAD colck is currently stopped, there are two possibilities:
a. If out of status: then it is approval
b. If in status: approval or final deny.

If it says EAD clock is currently STOPPED, most probably it is an approval. All the applicant who got such a thing got an approval decisions mailed to them. So, I can say “ Congrats” to you now.
