Asylum Based i-485

[Akbrocks]

Hello everyone, I applied for RTD on August 2021 for the first time. Does anybody know how long it will take? Also on my RTD application I put asylum granted but later on I got my green card.assuming the officer will see my current status, Will there be any issue? Thanks

Hi Singh52.

Congratulations on your green card. Can I know when you applied for I-485 and when you got the approval for your green card? Also what is the date on your green card?

I applied for asylum based green card with my family on February, 20.2020 at TSC. In March 2021 our green cards were delivered to us

Lucky_ congrats on your green card. That is very fast for an asylum-based GC at the Texas Service Center! May I ask if you tried any method like expedite request, help from a congressperson/senator or Writ of Mandamus? Thanks

Thanks! Yes it was a good surprise from USCIS(TSC).I didn't try any method that you stated above.
Wishing you a fast and smooth process!!!

Akbrocks thanks everyone so it took me 3 years to get my green card and as per inquiries, i used congressman, senator and white house and also general inquiries. Your green card always backdated 1 year. Hopes this helps

Thank you for your reply. Did your friends who had applied also got the approval?

I wanted to share my experience getting a green card...
I was illegally charged inadmissible for misinterpretation of a prior married-based green card. I wasn't informed of the inadmissibly charged, so no due process from uscis agents there. I was married since 2009 and in 2011 when we were doing the adjustment of status, we faced a lot of discrimination, we withdraw the application in 2013 and I applied for asylum and U1 visa the same year.
Years later I found on my record the inadmissibility note, we were never notified by the USCIS of such thing and there was not really evidence of such. either way. in 2017 my U1 was approved and in 2018 my asylum was approved.
I applied for a green card in Nov 2019 based on asylum. finally got approved dec 2021. (officer called my attorney to apologize for the discrimatory way i was treated during the whole process)
During these whole time I read on this forums, and I did my research... I am so happy for all the information I got from this forum.
Thank you all for helping eachother.
I am even considering getting a law degree in the future. hehe.
My green card was dated one year from the date of the approval notice, and it is valid for 11 years (valid from 2020-2031)
I still believe there is so many unfair treatment for asylees and refugees, all the waiting time should be applied to our citizenship requirement, and our refugee travel document should be valid for more than 1 year.
I really hope we get to change all those problems we face.
Have a good day everyone
and Happy new Year

Hey guys, I have been silently following this group for long time. My caee was pending in Texas Service Center and today i have my green card in hand. My timeline was as follows;
asylum approved March 2018
I-485 filed in March 2019
biometrics done and applied: Feb 2020
Writ of Mandamus: April 2021
Request for Evidence (medical): May 2021
Green card in hand: June 2021
So I sued USCIS and then they took action my case, i send so many inquiries through congressmen office but all responded back with generic response that case is within normal processing time bla bla bla, I hired good reputable attorney and USCIS took immediate action on my case and case was approved within no time. I am not representing any attorney here nor i am asking anyone to spend 4k attorney fee to file a lawsuit. I was trying my best to seek some sort of information before filling this lawsuit so i dont have to pay attorney fee and if i could find a draft online and do everything on my own but nothing was available online and thats why i have to go through an attorney. Guys i am here to help anyone who is willing to file a lawsuit, i have that draft and all information to file it now and to whom against it will be filer i have all the names of those officials. I will whoever is waiting for more than a year now should file this lawsuit and i will help anyone who needs this help to give them this draft and way to file it. You will only need 400 dollars court fee to file this lawsuit and i will do everything For FREE as i been though this pain and stressful wait and want to help my fellow brothers and sisters in this group. You guys can inbox me your email address and i will send you the draft and whole process and information to file it. Doing this we will also pressure USCIS and hopefully they will start acting fast on asylum based green cardd as are most ignored ones at this moment of time. I also created a gmail account just for this cause and to help everyone you can email me on it as well.
looking forward to help you guys getting your green cards asap.
Regards:
your fellow brother

Thank you,

Congrats on your green card! Did your attorney advise you with a minimum waiting time before filing lawsuit, like a year and half or 2 years? I've been waiting for a year and 3 months now and I was thinking about filing a lawsuit but I'm not sure if it is too early for filing a lawsuit.

hey,

Welcome to the club! USCIS is transferring the cases to either Nebraska or to your local field office. Few of us in the group have got the same notice.

Mine was transferred to Nebraska from Texas.

Unfortunately you still have to wait.

Thanks
