Because I think they can go back to the fair system by now if they really consider that. Congrats ! The U.S. also needs to make a decision on the section at 208 of the INA, which gives anyone the right to file an asylum application, irrespective of how they arrive, where they arrive or their immigration status. Now, imagine if Kamala, because she is afraid of political backlash, had used her platform as VP, to rehash the same Republican talking points used during the Trump presidency to discourage refugees and asylum seekers (those already in the U.S.) from seeking asylum. Yes this is also an extremely impressive part of the story. Im worried something is wrong with my application since its been 7 years and 7 months without any interview date. Many asylum cases are fraudulent, and we need to try to weed those out in order to protect the integrity of the system. A uncle of mine wanting his wife and kids to travel by plane without a visa. Jason, I agree that background checks are probably layered (for want of a better word) as it concerns the type of immigration benefit sought. If not can they seek asylum at the airport? I hope that consequences will register when it comes to 2024 and certain people will not step into power. Even though Biden is POTUS, and there is a new administration, we are still not back to pre-Trump refugee admission levels because of the amount of damage already done. In any event, we are almost in 2022. Am surprised its 3 years anytime I enquire am told case is pending final decision. That may get a decision (not necessarily a good decision). I am in the same position. I dont see it happening anytime soon, but one never knows. The conflation of the RIGHT to seek asylum with illegal migration is a threat to asylum and refugee systems across the world. Dont think about DV lottery.I applied for asylum 2015 and won DV lottery 2017.When you are in the U.S. and win DV lottery, you have to leave here to adjust your status but you cant because of your asylum case. Shake my head. Take care, Jason. It is disgusting to see such people who take joy in making the life of most vulnerable folks miserable .

Take care, Jason, I know that even if you are GC asylum based holder, you will always need to use RTD. What is your timeline of getting a green card ? Sadly, the USCIS processing time for such cases is listed as 1 to 3 years, or something like that. I wrote about AP on September 11, 2017. Take care, Jason.

Eventually in 2020, filed for FOIA (freedom of information act) and received a copy of my asylum file > to my surprise, my asylum was granted JUST 7 days after my interview BUT the asylum office did not release the decision (This was heartbreaking as I was going through depression; FOIA took 3-4 months to be processed) I can begin to list them here one by one.. my question is , my wife she is my cousin can I still sponsor her , or it will be difficult . Recently theyve put so many ressources into trying to deter fraudulent claims. You just made my evening. Take care, Jason. Recently, my status is changed from Application is Pending to Decision Is Pending. What we really need is legislation from Congress better defining who qualifies for asylum. * This includes 666,218 asylum application cases filed since October 2000 and an Nor do all of them fit the legal definition of a refugee. I want to say tho I dont mean to support Donald Trump as a first choice. You are right! USCIS said that everyone would be interviewed, but that never happened. In addition, have you ever read section 208 of the INA, the same section that makes you eligible for asylum in the U.S.? (If I would not take medication, I would have died 3 years ago from crying and being sad while I could not be with my mother and all my friends got their asylum; I was not accepting that I have depression/anxiety until a friend begged me to go to a doctor. In fact, I believe that a good number of them are more aptly economic migrants. thanks, I have had clients do it (often because the RTD is too inconvenient), and no one has had trouble.

JDzubow(at)DzubowLaw.com. Hi Jason, for Asylum based I-485 for principal applicant, is having an interview is the norm or the exception? Youd be surprised to learn that there are some asylum seekers- the ones who file affirmatively- who have had to make extremely difficulty decisions (I know this because I work with organizations that provide support to asylum seekers and refugees in New York). We should not be arguing about that comment, or make it look like some of us support people who are anti-asylum. i dont get why the government not extend the validity to 2,3, 5 years !! As I see it, there are two downsides to a mandamus lawsuit: (1) There is not a strong legal basis to force the Asylum Office to process a persons case. You can have an immigration lawyer file a Petition for a Writ of Mandamus in Federal Court to force the USCIS make a decision in your pending case. Other casesa minorityare delayed when they are referred to the Asylum Division headquarters for review. So the question do you, Jason, or anyone from fellow applicants, know if I can make an inquiry to UICIS regarding my EAD, basing on ID expiration? Generally, the Asylum Office will not want to waste resources litigating mandamus suits, so they might agree to process the case rather than fight the lawsuit. I cannot find any guidance online but the USCIS would issue advance paroles for Asylees if requested. You might also contact your Congress person, as they can sometimes help move along a slow case. Whether they actually want to do that is an open question sometimes, it is better to continue the case. Regardless of how much democrats criticize her for these comments, it is highly unlikely that they vote republican. Can I apply for relieve from Court and apply for GC base on this new rule for uscis to relieve victim of serious crimes? I just recently contacted Ombudsman. Take care, Jason. Such a move might be challenged in court, but given the easy legal standard for asylum, it does seem to me an option. Take care, Jason. Good luck, Jason. If an officer told you the case had already been approved, then you wont see much except AOs notes that why he granted you asylum. It is unfair that the Asylum Office simply does not do its job and make timely decisions, but that is where things stand. However, it really does boggle the mind that the DHS/FBI would do a cursory, or incomplete, background check on applicant whose asylum application was approved. AK, I feel your pain.

I always read that Green cards for asylees are usually without interviews but my lawyer says almost all have interviews!! Over four out of every ten Immigration Court cases in which asylum applications have been filed since October 2000 are still pending. That means that of the 1.6 million Court cases in which asylum applications were filed, two-thirds of a million asylum seekers (667,229) are still waiting for hearings to resolve their cases. See Figure 1. Below are a few options that might be worth a try: Inquire Yourself: Contact the Asylum Office directly to ask about your case. Asylum is a generous benefit and if it is abused too much, or if too many people who were not the intended beneficiaries of asylum obtain asylum, there will eventually be a backlash that could cause asylum to go away. Jason I applied for my EAD renewal on April 1st 2021. My understanding is that it will allow certain people to close their court cases. I once asked a prior Asylum Division Director about the discrepancy, and the only explanation I received was that the background checks are different at the two different agencies. If bold action is politically stupid, we would be at the mercy of another anti-immigrants administration. My guess is that the case was approved in the sense that you qualified for asylum, but the delay was the security check. My wife and me got interviewed asylum case.Now we wait ing decisions 6 years since 2015 We check our case status it shows Application is pending.Looks still not decision complete. but what if GC holder ( based on asylum) starts using his national passport (of course not returning to the country of persecution) will that be a big concern?

Congresswoman Intervened, no result. They told me that Potomac service center is currently processing EAD applications from July 2020 and the current processing time is 7 to 11 months. Take care, Jason. The huge drop in defensive asylum case decision during FY 2021 allowed the percentage of decisions in affirmative asylum cases to climb back to 15 percent. This was true even though the actual number of decisions in affirmative cases also actually fell as a result of Court closures during the pandemic. Figure 3. It is a real disgrace that EADs are processing so slowly, but maybe if you call or contact them, it could help. Such inquiries rarely help, but there is no harm in trying. I appreciate your help in this. At least you should send them an email inquiring about the status of the case you can find their email if you follow the link under Resources called Asylum Office Locator. My point is, let us watch this administration to see what they do with immigration and asylum. Thank you Jason. The situation is that my grandma is really sick back home and I know if anything bad happens to dad he has to leave but at the same time he is worried that we would lose our case since our whole family is under his application.
