You can get an idea of when to expect the interview if you check the Asylum Office Scheduling Bulletin – a link it at right. You might also consider trying to expedite your case. I wrote about that on March 30, 2017. Take care, Jason

Typically, I advise people to marry, get the green card, and then (once they have the green card) withdraw the asylum. You could do that and then travel to your country. Or you could withdraw the case now, travel to your country, and then get your green card at the US embassy. You could also apply for the green card in the US and use Advance Parole (form I-131, available at http://www.uscis.gov) to travel to your country. Finally, and maybe this is a bad choice, you can keep the asylum case going, use Advance Parole to travel to your country and then return, and then file for your green card based on marriage. I do not know if any/all of these options will work for you, but the point is, you have a lot of choices. It would be a good idea for you to talk to a lawyer about the different options to see what is best. Also, it is not always easy to withdraw an asylum case, and a lawyer can help with that too. Take care, Jason

Im in united states pending by asylum since one year ago, but my mom in my country is now very sick and I need see her and try to help her in something. Im thinking in withdraw my asylum aplication, however my girlfriend is american and we want marry, then my doubt are:
1-If I marry and then withdraw the asylum and go to my country, my wife could ask for me for get the resident staying I in my country and she in USA
2- When the immigration service make me the interview in the embassy in my country, they could denied the petition just because I withdraw the asylum request ?
Thank you

This is not really something my firm can assist with – we do not do tourist visas or work visas. However, you could try either. Of course, given your immigration history, certain types of visas may be difficult to get – especially the tourist visa. But you can try. Once your US citizen child turns 21, he can sponsor you for a green card. Take care, Jason

I did not find a way of contact you using blog so I decided to write you privately. 
My question is: I was granted withholding of removal ( very good case but applyed after 1 year)  back in 2002 I believe. 
After that I open a couple of business where I employeed some people ….my business was very successful and I got an offer to buy my agency from a big company.  I decide to sell my business and after a while I traveled back permanently to my home country with my wife and my both American citizens children. 
I had been over nine years here in colombia and I am planning to travel back to the sates because my 16 year old boy wants to study college in the states and maybe also planning to re open some business in Florida. 

I want to know if I should apply for a tourist visa or apply to re entry or to get a job offer from a company.

Please give a short advise so I can decide if I contract your law firm to take care of may case.

Thank you, 

Julian Carmona

That was sort-of a joke, but the film is about being stuck in a bureaucracy. It is called “Brazil”.

If you move and your case is transferred, you supposedly keep your place in the queue. I highly doubt that Newark is closed – they are probably focused on other types of cases (like credible fear cases from the US/Mexico border), which get priority over “regular” asylum cases like yours. Depending how USCIS shifts their workload around, Newark may start to move and NY may slow down. It is impossible to predict. Take care, Jason

I am surprised to see that Newark NJ asylum office is interviewing for June 2013 for last 3 months
Does that mean office is closed?
I applied in October 2014 and it’s taking too long..can I transfer my case to New York asylum office and still get the interview in the sequence of my application date?without further delays
