Asylum Based i-485

[Diamond2019]

Hi All,

I applied for GC Feb 2019 with TSC, Nothing till now except biometrics updated on Feb 2020.

Are you surprised that it is only for one year? Is it usually different? What is a LIN number?

Thank you!

Yes, I am surprised its only for a year yet I paid $410. I was expecting 2yrs as before. The LIN number is the receipt number - a new identification number different from the one I used when I was an asylum seeker. Something new to me too dear.

If I don't get GC next year, means I gotta pay another $410 that is if USCIS doesn't increase the price. That's a lot of money shaa..but we hope for the best anyways!

You dont have to pay for ead card while i485 is pending.
You can renew 100 times without pay anything.

2018 January - Asylum Granted
2019 January applied for i485
They didn’t need biometrics as They got it in 2018 August for Travel doc
2020 February they scheduled new biometrics
2020 till now status is “fingerprints have been applied to your case”

We are in the same boat. I also redid my FP in feb.Lets hope we all get our GC in hand asap

First , as asylee you don’t even need a work permit as you have unrestricted SSN , and the LIN number means it was processed at Nebraska.

EAD is not required, but for some agencies is required, for example DMV in NJ they want only a valid EAD to renew a driver license which happened in my case, I had to apply for renewal for my EAD a5...

Good morning! Great news! Congratulations! In two days they will send your gc , overall it takes 7 days from card production to card receive. I guess it’s NSC again?

Congrats!!!

Is it I-485? Which Service Center?

Once it says "My Card is being produced"

Next Step is "Case was approved

Next Step will be "Post Office picked up mail containing your new card."

Final Step will be "Card Was Delivered To Me By The Post Office"

TSC Times:
Receipt date for a case inquiry went back to October 27th, 2017 again. And the ranges has risen up to 31 months... It is an endless loop that just increases over and over....

Its getting worst day by day especially TSC.......

Earlier it was 7months to 28.5 months.

God please help us all..............
