It’s says children’s present in the United States physicallyHello everyone.
My friend is here alone and he has children back home who are above 25. The asylum application says to provide details of all children regardless of age and the instructions for asylum says only to include unmarried children under 21.
Confused on how to fill up. Does he need to include his children who are both above 25 or does he skips that part in the application. Pls help out with this. Thanks a lot.

The instructions say like that but if you see the form, it says list all children regardless of age, location or martial status.It’s says children’s present in the United States physically
They are so slow. I didn’t see any recent LA case posts online that got a decision quickly, except for one that got its decision within 1 week after the interview. I have been waiting since August myself.I had an interview at the end of August 2025 at the Tustin (Los Angeles) office, and the decision has been pending ever since. I was supposed to pick it up in two weeks, but they called and said it would be mailed..
Anybody else waiting for their decision from Tustin?
And for those who already have their results from the Tustin office, how long have you waited for them?
That’s a very positive sign. Submit it and I heard Arlington is processing cases faster these dayshello
had my interview in arlington office 2 weeks ago and AO asked to send some paper in person at the office
Decision Is still Pending
WHO ALREADY ASYLUM APPROVED, GOT GREEN CARD APPROVAL IN 2025 ?
When government acts, they don't just pencil whip, they have something solidHi everyone,
I really need some clarity about something that’s been stressing me out. I filed for asylum in 2020 while I still had valid status (I was on OPT at the time). I’ve been waiting over 5 years for an interview, and suddenly, instead of an interview notice, I received a Notice to Appear (NTA) for immigration court.
I’m confused because my asylum application was timely and I had legal status when I filed. USCIS has my updated address (I confirmed this recently), and I never received any missed-interview notice. The NTA says I’m “out of status,” but that confuses me because I filed while I was still in status and have been following the asylum process the whole time.
Has anyone been in a similar situation where:
Any insights or similar experiences would really help me understand what happened and what to expect next. Thank you.
- You filed asylum while in status
- You waited years for an interview
- And then suddenly your case was referred to court without any interview?
It was my post in a different topic. I've consulted with 3 attorneys already. Until this week, they didn't have such cases. Everybody said that I (I think and you also) have to go to court. In theory, of course, you can try "a motion to terminate", but no one proposed this option to me.Hi everyone,

My lawyer doesn't know the reason. It might be 1 year bar which wasn't the case but since the administration has changed, this probably came up recently. I came to the US with F1 visa and worked here for years. I don't know what to say....When government acts, they don't just pencil whip, they have something solid
Speak to a lawyer , waste no further moment
At this point, there is no reason to fight back with USCIS since they have thrown your case to immigration court already. You can't have them take it back (Doesn't matter right or wrong)
There is another person with similar case to yours, he applied in 2022 but then i guessed he probably could swiped because he came during biden administration and trump has serious beef with asylees / refugees who came during biden time , but looks likes its something else since you came here in 2020 (I also applied in 2020 and got approved in 2025 after filing mandamus
Just a few days ago I received an NTA in removal proceedings under section 240. Maybe it was a routine practice, but I haven't heard this before.
I have a pending asylum application since 2022 Entered with a valid B2 visa, in 3 months after applied for the political asylum. No violations, criminal records, or something like this. Last time I updated the EAD in Dec of 2024. The NTA states that me and my family have unauthorized stay after our authorized stay under visas was ended in Feb of 2023. So, legally this statement is incorrect, because I have it after applied for asylum and received...
