Hi guys,
Congratulations for all of you who have been approved. You guys are really blessed.
I applied EAD under C08 pending asylum last week. I have subscribe to notify me by sending text when my application is accepted. Today is the fourth day since they received my application. How long does it take for them to send text to notify me my application is accepted?
Thank you so so much for all your help.

Hi, I just got approval letter after I post to you yesterday. This forum is amazing!!! Wish very best luck to all others who are still waiting.
Congartualtions starzl, I am happy for you, you are also lucky. Good luck with your next steps.
I have a question if possible: are you still in status ?? I am still in status and trying to figure out if it is the cause of the delay.
I'm holding a F1 visa and still in status. Just be patient and keep praying. Good luck!
Thanks I appreciate your quick reply. I am trying to be patient, simply because it is the only option available. wishing you the best luck+362514
Hello kkwest,
I got a text messages from USCIS about acceptance of my I-765 (under C08) in 2-3 days after I got a delivery conformation from USPS.
Good luck and take care.

hellow everybody,
I am new member like many of you waiting for decision, but in my case, i just had interview yesterday
, but yes waiting period started.
My IO clearly told me that it may take more time but his decision would remain the same, so dont worry if it is too late.
I am in valid F-1. now dont have money to continue and last date to drop classes with refund is 27th january 2012. hoping will get something by then.
I believe i had credible fear and a good interview. seems to me i did not had any discrepencies but i am a human being i may have made a mistake that i dont know. he was not only nice but also tried to understand my case and seems like satisfied. but again i am not an angel that can check his heart.
My question is that, from all of your experiences, if someone wait too long do they still can get NOID after long time. Is there any example? I did not see one yet in this forum
thanks and i will be around.

Dont worry too much. You are already approved. It is a matter of paper work and a background check process. You will get the final approval after they complete your IBIS name chech, FBI name check, IDENT check, and the fingerprint check.
Sometimes, they issue a recommended approval if your FBI name check is still pending.
You are not required to maintain your F1 status anymore but this decision is yours.
Once again, congratulation and enjoy your new freedom. God bless

Hello new-asylum-case and welcome to the forum.
At-first you can get NOID only if you still in status (have a rights to stay in US legally), about time frames I guess it's difficult to say because there is no strong pattern.
Good luck and take care.

Yes i am in status,
I am not able to continue F-1 status because of lack of funds. SO i am thinking if it is taking too long, and it usually is an approval mostly after long time than i can leave status in two months, as i am enrolled in block two classes that starts after two months.

Hello new-asylum-case,
Until you case still pending and you are waiting for the decision you have a legal rights to stay in US, it's I know for sure. Also I know for sure - if you out of status decision about your case would be made by Asylum Office way faster then if your in status. My opinion - as much longer as possible trying to maintain your legal status, that's for sure, and doing your asylum case in the same time.
Good luck and take care.

thanks,
I know also that i can stay till my case is pending, but i am just wondering that if people do get NOID after long wait or usually it is granted after long wait. I know my fbi fingerprints would take long.
i have feeling if they find something wrong in my asylum application then i will get NOID in two weeks and if i dont get NOID till two months then I can take risk of leaving F-1 status, what do you guys think about it?

coz it took long time when i applied for visa to usa.
but nobody replied my question yet about chances of NOID after couple of months.. you think if they want to deny they would do it sooner and if it is taking too long that means that want to grant it but it is taking time coz of someother reason like fingerprints..
I know all you have been in this forum for quite a while, so what do you think.. just your experience or idea ...

They don't have to wait for the background check results if they want to issue NOID for I-589 applications. The final approval might take time because sometimes the name check process take so long.

so that means, i can take risk of losing F1 status if i dont get NOID till two months? because most probably it is gona be ok after that time.
I wish i would have asked IO after interview he was nice, he could have told this info. damm it.

May be this would help
let me share this with you new-asylum-case, it may help you decide;
My asylum interview took place on the same day as two other boys who were all in status. Once i got in to the building, I saw them both. I know them cos one of them is from my c'try (X) and the other is from the same school i used to attain (Y). They were both in status(X and Y). X got his asylum approved and mail exactly 2 weeks and 3 days. Y received a NOID 3 weeks after that date while i got mine 4 weeks in the mail. These decisions were all stamped just less than 2 weeks after the interviews but got different enveloped date stamped. That's why we received them in different dates.
So I think it doesn't really matter whether you are in status or Not. If you are in status or Not, and the background check is not completed, a recommended approval will be issued while awaiting on the background check to be completed for the final approval to be issued. But if you were to be denied...they won't need the background check completion before a denial is made.
I also think there is a reason why our final decisions didn't make long...This is because we all waited for very long periods before our interview dates were established. Within these times, most or all background checks were completed already. My AO told me the reason why it took so long. He said there are no A offices in our area so the interviews are scheduled just a few times within a year. They had to wait until there is quit a pool of pending cases...so that they can dispatch the AOs to take a two week period and interview everyone within the region.
I would also like to add that, there are no specific rules in this process...each case is specific with respect to decision making.
Hope these helped.

Register thanks, you sounds knowlegeable person,
In my case, officer almost told me at the end of interview in indirect words that i am approved. but as he also told me that all cases need to be discussed with supervisor so final dicision cannot be told till that. Now also, he told me a reason which has nothing to do with my asylum case, and i cannot disclose it, he told me that for that reason the case could be send to department of state for approval, he told me not to worry and it would be ok from there but it may take some extra time. then he said whatever would be answer from department of state, his decision would not change. and I already said he told in indirect words that i am ok in his eyes.
now i know that my case would take long because of going to state department and also because of fingerprint timings, that i know would take long in my case.
It seems like everybody whose case is taking long other than fbi approval, there cases are going to department of state.
now i dont know if they would focus on same content on eligibility of asylum as IO is focusing or if they check some security point of view or something else.
So, ya it is for sure it is gonna take time, what I do till that time, I am in delimma because i do not have funds to continue school.
I have decided if there is no answer till 2 months, i would leave my F-1 status. now it is a big risk but i have to take it at some point. I cannot beg for money for school.
hopefully there decision would come in some time but if not, then i would assume they are not going to deny, because if they did not send me NOID in 2 months it should be ok in their eyes.
Fingers crossed.

In rare cases, the application is referred to the asylum headquarter office or a department of state if your case is affected by the inadmissibility bar. If this happens, then a decision can't be made until the asylum office receives a guidance from the headquarter or a department of state. This process is totally different from the background check and it might have been the reason why your F1 visa took so long.
You should not worry if you have not done anything wrong.
