India Passport - asylum applicant

[g_c_h_2006]

Hello everyone,

I am new to this forum. I hope somebody will be able to help me.

I am an Indian national living in USA for the last 9 years. When I came to the USA I was a minor and I applied for asylum under the misguidance of relatives and friends. But I never attended interview. Later I withdrew the application and filed for EB based green card under section 245(I). Labor has been approved and I-140 pending now. My question is can I apply for Indian passport? In the decleration section of the Indian Passport application, there is a line "I have neither applied for, nor been granted asylum." Although I applied for asylum, I withdrew it later on. Will this be a problem when applying for passport.Thank you in advance for your replies.

Thanks Prab101. This information is defenitely encouraging. I will apply for a passport and let's see how it goes. But if there is any other US asylum applicant who has applied for Indian passport, please post your experience as to what questions are asked, etc. Thanks in advance for your replies.

Does anybody know of any person from India who is out of status or illegal here (not necessarily by choice) and was succesfully able to get a passprt? If so, please post information about that. I've heard mixed answers to this. Thanks.
