Hi everyone,

I tried to search everywhere in the forum and online, but I couldn't find anything related to any documents or stamps or anything a WR grantee should receive.

Does anyone knows if after you have your Withholding of Removal Granted you need to file for any document other than the Social Security card and EAD, or your passport needs to be stamped or else. The only document I received was a decision notice and nothing more.

Thanks for your help

WR allows you to live in this country indefintely, it allows you to work and renew your EAD card every year for years.That's all.

WR doesnt allow you to bring your family to US,IT doesn't allow you to travel any other country or file for green card.
U r lucky you are not removed cos of getting WR but unlucky cos u can't travel, you can't bring ur family , you can never file or get green card.

thanks

To say that your WR status will allow you to live in US indefinitely is not quite correct. People who win "withholding" actually have a final order of removal (deportation) against them, which one can not appeal. The whole idea of WR is United States immigration authorities 'withholding' you from country of persecution here in US until 'they' found a third safe country for you, so technically authorities can make you leave the country; also IF you decide to travel for example (that you shouldn't do), a visited country will be assumed a third country.
 
one of my attorney told me that if i am granted WR, I won't be removed to my country and have work permit. But can't travel -which also means u won't get travel documents of any kinds even if u apply, can't file for green card and can't petition ur family.

But I won asylum so I have better benefits.

best of luck
 
Withholding of Removal

Withholding does not mean that permanent in USA. At anytime if USCIS can you send you back to your home country. If only they found that home country circumstances chaged since you filed assylum.

There is two condition to get greenCard and becomes USA citizen

1 - If in near future any new immigration law change (which would say all WR
are allowed to apply for green card or travel documet. There is good
chances in 2009 I hope)

2 - If you get married and have a chiled and that chiled will sponser you
when She/He becomes 21 year old. (wating time is 21 year)
 
There is nothing you need to do other than to apply for an EAD and a social security card if you do not have one already.

Another thing to bear in mind is that you can apply for federal welfare benefits for the next seven years (but not federal student financial aid for college).

Everyone pretty much described everything about WR.
It gives you the right to work and live in the country - realistically as long as you stay on that status.
Negative side: no travel document, no citizenship path;
Qualification for WR are almost the same as for asylum, but benefits are no match.
From WR, you can get the green card by doing one of the three things:
1-secure job and have employer try to sponsor you for permanent residence.
2-marry US Citizen or Permanent Resident
3-have your child sponsor you in 21 years as was stated before (if he/she is US citizen).

Hope this info will help you.
 
can anyone in withhelding status can adjust his/her status as mention in
1 - secure job and have employer try to sponsor you for permanent residence.

Thanks

It is possible in theory but the procedures you need to undertake are extremely complicated and technical.
