Asylum Based i-485

[treehouse]

Hey guys. I want to post my timeline for my pending I-485 based on Asylum grant.

Jan 6, 2016: Asylum Approved by IJ. (My birth country is not a part of that unpopular travel plan)

Jan 8, 2017: Application to register for Permanent resident I-485 sent. Texas service center.

Jan 15, 2017: Application received and a case number was assigned.

Feb 12, 2017: Biometrics done

Awaiting approval! Will update once I get the final decision!

What is happening with Processing times?

So, I still haven't received any decision on my application. As of March 31, they were processing the cases as of Oct 4, 2016 for I-485 based on asylum.

Today, they updated their processing times and now it says as of April 30, they are processing cases as of Sept 17, 2016!!! (Uscis website, Texas Service center)

ONE MONTH PASSED AND THEY ARE PROCESSING CASES FROM ONE MONTH BACKWARD.

How is that possible?!

understanding USCIS processing times is much like reading tea leaves.

I think reading tea leaves seems easy enough than the whole USCIS process....not only the processing time....

I still haven't received any decision. Looks like the backlog is ugly.

I-485 process time

I saw the thread and I wanted to join in and see who else is going through the same.

june,2015: Asylum approved
june 2016: filed I-485
august 206: bio metric done
september 2016: RFE requested (birth certificate)
october 2016: RFE sent to USCIS and received


Today is Nov 10, 2017 and haven't received any response from USCIS. I'm assuming due to backlog. Every time I check in the website, it says the case is pending.
so i requested them to check the case via the site and they got back to me in 2 weeks and said it's still pending and I should hear back from them within 6 months.

Did you apply forEAD While waitibg for GC?

We are given GC EAD for two years. If we did not get decision by that time frame, can we apply for new EAD? Or how does it work?

Yes, you can apply for free indefinitely as long as the I-485 is still pending.

10 days ago I called immigration to ask about my case and they filed a requested under my case, today I got an email from them saying that my case is under review and I will get a decision in 60 days. I hope to get a good news as everyone also.

You can apply for EAD but you don't need EAD to work if you are an asylee. All you need is social security card and government issued photo ID to accept employment.
