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!

Hey, guys, I saw many people mentioned that Medical exam expired. Isn't it valid for 2 years now?

All new medicals are valid for 2 years if filed within 60 days from signature with I-485 or signed after you send I-485. Not all medicals submitted before November 01, 2018 are valid for 2 years. Some officers still don't know/understand the 2 years rule.

thanks for updating. Did they ask you for the medical renewal

No . I didn’t hear from them since the transfer in July 2018

Asylum granted June 2017
green card application July 2018
Oct 2018 case transferred to Texas center from Nebraska
no updates since then and medicals is about to expire
anyone with the same time range and office

I filed GC at TSC on Aug 2018 and last week I received my GC. I think the current processing time in TSC is about 7-14 months. I advise you to wait till 14 months and even if u do not hear anything may be put a service request at USCIS web site or try to reach out to your congressman.

Not always ... mine was in Nebraska first and transferred to Texas.

Obviously, you know if your case was transferred to Texas. LIN indicated your case was sent to Nebraska from lockbox.

Your receipt indicates your service center. LIN - Nebraska

There’s no office in Phoenix. It’s a lockbox facility where they process payments.

Then how do I know where is my case at?

I am just guessing. I do not have any good insight about what happened to your case. I would advise you to wait couple of months and if by that timeframe nothing happens then might be worth trying to create a SR in USCIS website and if that does not help then contacting a congressman perhaps.

Thanks for your input . That’s what I was thinking to do .

What kind of background checks?? They did it when I applied for asylum! What should I do? I’m from Ukraine ????????

I filed in Nebraska also, and in July 2018, It was transferred to Texas Service Center. Hopefully, I am hoping to hear soon about it. My medical has expired its been over a year. Hopefully good news soon!

Omg same timelines. Our medical also got expired. Just so tired of waiting. Also hope for good news
