Asylum Based i-485

[Diamond2019]

I went to my country too for a similar season , my lawyer said , it would not cause any problems but lets see.

Have you received the evidence request yet? My case status changed to request for additional evidence too and I have no idea what that could be since I have sent the medical reports along with the applications

It looks they are working on the first quarter of 2019 but, they are super slow. Also, I noticed they working the most on I-765 not I-485 which causing the delay.
when did you applied?

You may be right, but I didn't hear any news from the 2019 filers.

Mostly 2018 and 2017 cases got approved.

I have even seen the 2016 March case got approved couple of weeks back.

That's how bad TSC is doing when compared to NSC

I am keeping my finger crossed.........

I got good news from NCS!

October 2018 - Asylum approved;
October 10, 2019 - Application for i485 received by Nebraska SC;

You will never get 100% correct info anywhere. I saw some reports regarding the work load says that they processed some applications within 7 months, some with 18 months and some 24 months. There is no such clear policy to determine how long it will take. Really this is ridiculous. Those members who filed in TSC, we should take an action at least we should have a plan to contact our congressmen at same time to raise up a same complain format regarding what is going on USCIS TSC Processing Center as this is not fair, USCIS under same country and same work policy then why it is different form office to anther office. It is not our problem that they process more I- 765 in TSC. Only it is not the right time to do that right now. Once Covid 19 situation is cleared we all together TSC applicant have to do something. I faced the same situation in my asylum case, it was kept pending over 5 years until I complain to my Congressman. I wish other members share ideas about what we can do as well.

We should do something we can sue them at least we need resident time back from the date we applied not from the date the card approved.

Everything you said is correct but should not forget that TSC covers states like NY which has the most number of applicants in the country so definitely their work load is more than NSC .
One more thing we should not forget that we are in a stage where we are cursing the system for processing slow but at the same time we should also feel so lucky that we have approved cases unlike people who are still waiting for there results for there cases.
I know wait is hard but we all know in the end we are all gonna be shining with our GREEN CARDS.

Wrong Nebraska has more case than Taxas. If you see how many case Nebraska finished and how many case Texas finished.

Hi, can anyone tell me "we transferred your Form I-485 to an asylum office for processing" what does this mean?

I totally agree with it. For some applicants, the waiting period or shall I say LOST time is more than 2 years. If they could count those years as years of residency for Citizenship, that will be a great relief. If we can get this plan into motion, count me in. Thank you for bringing this up.

My Case History:

November 2017 - Asylum approved
December 2018 - Applied for I-485 at Texas Service Center

Since then all I see in the status is "Fingerprint fee was Received" till this current day (Let me know if it is normal, asked it before and people said it's normal). I had No Biometrics, No RFE, or any update at all so far.

Lately few others who applied on the same timeline are finally getting their green card from TSC and I'm happy for them. Hopefully, mine is not far away as well. Good Luck Everyone and thanks

Hey Friends!

is there anybody in this chat who has applied for GC at Texas Service Center BEFORE September 2018??


Let’s see If there is anyone here! Trying to understand If anybody of us HERE is waiting over 2 years?

thanks!

[Akbrocks]

Hi Jasmine22,

I applied for 485 on May 2018, case was initially transferred to TSC and last month the Call centre agent told me it was transferred to NSC around May 2019.

Finger Prints and medical done.

Nothing since then ????

Very bizarre that you didn't receive Biometrics until now, Did you tried to call or checked why you didn't receive Biometrics notification. Sometimes notification get lost in the mail . you shouldn't wait all this long time.

[freedom_bird2020]

We should do something we can sue them at least we need resident time back from the date we applied not from the date the card approved.

We need to file a group case for many applicants but, we need an attorney advise in this regard. The easy way right now is to have many applicants submit a complain to their congressman at same time.
I am sure this will work.

I missed the previous conversation that for

FEB 2019 case got RFE

At last USCIS has started working on 2019 cases which is good for us so that we can keep some hopes about our cases getting processed.

God help us all !!!
