I have been arrested once before for exercising my religion in my home country and my asylum based on religious persecution. That is so bad, It is bad, and it is a potential problem. Over four out of every ten Immigration Court cases in which asylum applications have been filed since October 2000 are still pending. That means that of the 1.6 million Court cases in which asylum applications were filed, two-thirds of a million asylum seekers (667,229) are still waiting for hearings to resolve their cases. See Figure 1. Thanks, We have been seeing cases take maybe 1 or 1.5 years for the interview. An interview is required, but there is not a required length of interview. However, a pending asylum case would not normally make someone ineligible for an H1b, since H1b is a dual intent visa, meaning that the embassy will not care whether he is trying to remain permanently in the US they should issue the visa anyway. But my question was about if there is any law that prohibits USCIS from granting the case based on evidence submitted. Political backlash, racism, xenophobia and political strategy aside (which, at this point and before, is inevitable and are here to stay), how do we, as pro asylum and refugee, ensure that asylum seekers continue to, pursuant to the law, have the right to seek asylum in the U.S., despite how they get to the U.S. or their immigration status?

Another reason for delay is that each case needs to be reviewed by a supervisor, and the Asylum Offices are apparently short of supervisors. Take care, Jason. I cannot find any guidance online but the USCIS would issue advance paroles for Asylees if requested. Still waiting, These cards are very delayed lately. The situation is that my grandma is really sick back home and I know if anything bad happens to dad he has to leave but at the same time he is worried that we would lose our case since our whole family is under his application.

In my humble opinion, before asylum is granted, or before someone is admitted as refugee, a thorough background check should be performed (this would also help in streamlining the process). A such, if someone waited 6 or 7 years, for example, for an asylum approval- perhaps because the asylee had paid a ransom for his release, for example- it cannot be justified that the asylee should wait another 8 years, for example, for his GC to be approved because of the same trig issue. If any of the readers have any question for my trip of granted asylum to greencard, you can ask. I think her statement was politically calculated. I believe everyone who awaits their interview has that status, it doesnt really mean your interview will be scheduled shortly. You see right through their BS!
