Waiting Asylum decision

msv5450 said:
I don't know how to submit evidence because I have not dealt with it. I heard from an immigration lawyer on YouTube that when a case gets stuck and delayed, it just means that it's sitting somewhere and nobody is paying attention to it. No ongiong investigation being done whatsoever. So, lack of evidence does not cause delay.

As to whether submitting new evidence will help your case, I should say I'm a bit skeptical. The asylum decision is made right there during the interview, based the available evidence that present and the impression that you make. The first lawyer is probably right. Save the new evidence for court in case you are referred.

During my interview I didn’t provide any evidence regarding my case. Second lawyer I spoked was like to submit the documents and it will be a push to my case. My case is been pending for 2 and 1/2 years now. I need someone who experienced this kind a situation to give me an idea. Is it best to submit the documents on next spring?

Will pray for you. Do you know how to submit some documents regarding the asylum case ? I just want to meet an asylum officer and submit it. I didn’t submit few documents during my interview or after that because my lawyer wanted me not to do it and said to wait till they transfer my case to court, but I contacted a different lawyer and he was like to submit those documents because those are some valid documents for my asylum case. Can you give me some ideas how to do it and when to do it?
I guess due to less evidence my case is pending for this long. Seems like I got the wrong lawyer and he’s very expensive too. His plan was to transfer my case to court and get some extra money. Only he did was trained me for the interview.

When I went to interview, I wanted to submit some evidences and documents regarding my case. But the guy at the reception told me, if I do so, AO may reschedule my interview, so i decided not to, but when I went to interview room, I asked AO if she could accept some new evidence, that i hadn't submitted before, and she was happy to accept, but basically lack of evidence doesn't halt your case.

Like I said earlier, the delay is not because of the evidence. The first lawyer sounds like a very sketchy person. You should submit evidence one week before the interview.

I don't have the experience to advise you about the evidence submission at this point, but my lawyer is very experienced and a very ethical person. If you are in Chicago office, I can give you her contact info

I'm waiting for my decision 3 years. 6 months ago I asked congresswoman to step in. She agreed and I never hear from her since then. 5 months ago I sent additional evidence to Chicago office to shake my case and maybe got a decision any time soon and also never hear from immigration since then.
You can't predict how it's gonna be in your situation, but I don't think that patience is the answer.
It's obvious that immigration works awfyl nowadays and you have to send them as much letters as you can

I did submit new evidence AFTER the interview. Yes you can, why not? But the evidence must be new situations. If you are going to submit some evidence that you SHOULD submit before the interview, that will not be good. Just mail your evidence to the office, no need to appoint an infopass.
BTW, 2 or 3 years waiting for a decision is not reasonable, I suggest you make a lawsuit to push them.

The lawyer I spoked couple of months back said to take all the steps for the asylum case after the upcoming changes in the US govt. Try next year differently instead of congresswoman I think senator would be a better option. I have no experience in that but few people I knew got decision through senators. I would say to gather all the informations during this time period and take all the steps next year spring or summer. 2020 is not the right year because of the pandemic and all other stuffs going on right now in Chicago.

Thank you so much. Is it better to submit the copies instead of original? because I fear if they lose my original documents.

Be careful with submitting additional evidence after your interview if you have not applied for initial EAD.

If you read the updated I-765 instructions on USCIS website, it says that "A request to provide additional evidence after interview" before your initial EAD application is filed is is considered a delay that you intentionally caused. I suggest you apply for EAD before Aug 25 to circumvent this bar.

How did you submit those evidence? Did you do it after the interview?
I have heard if the time has stopped then it’s an approval. Will pray for you to get an approval

If I were you, I would wait until mid 2021 to contact the senator. because the US presidential administration may change by then and there is no way to be sure about the fate of USCIS in light of the furloughs.
