In reply to msuper. You should probably discuss with your family. You could stay in the US if you are a student (F-1 visa) or you could seek asylum if you have a basis for that claim (maybe talk to a lawyer to see whether you have a case). You should know that asylum cases for minors (under 18) usually are processed much more quickly than cases for adults, and so if you choose that path, you should prepare the entire case, including the evidence and statement prior to filing the case. Hopefully, you can go over this with your family and make a decision together. Take care, Jason

Hello Mr.Jason
I am a minor. At the moment I am in united states along with my family with B1B2 visa. I don’t want to go back to my country because my country is not safe due to terrorism but my family is against my decision. So what do you suggest, what I have to do ? Right now I cannot meet someone in person that is why when I took a look at your website I contacted you. What is the best way for me to stay in U.S. and continue my studies?

In reply to Stonal. My experience is that the Bulletin is pretty accurate, but I have heard about exceptions. But if they pass your filing date, you can contact them to ask about it, and maybe they will schedule the case or at least explain what happened. You can find their contact info if you follow the link at right called Asylum Office Locator. Take care, Jason

In reply to Bisrat M Kebede. I really have no idea, especially since each asylum office is different. In my office, such people would expect to wait at least a year, even if Trump's policies make things faster. He could also make things slower, at this point, we do not know. Take care, Jason

In reply to Sash. It could take months, sometimes longer, but usually it is only a few months maximum before you get the first court date. You should have a lawyer in court, and the lawyer can ask the judge for an earlier date, but lawyers have little control over that in most cases. As for linking with your family members, it sounds like their cases are finished, so you can link with them. You can give copies of their asylum approvals to the judge as part of your case. We usually do that and it is usually very helpful to your case. Your lawyer can better advise you about that. Take care, Jason

Hi Jason,
Thank you very much for all your information. I applied for an asylum in December 2014. And finally I received an interview with USCIS Bethpage NewYork on January 31st 2017. I did have the interview, and on the decision day I was referred to an immigration judge. But the referral did not have an particular date and time, I know the immigrations courts have a backlog. Just wanted to know, how long will it take at least to get an letter from courts ? months , years ? Also, My bother and Father have being granted asylum in 2014, I didn’t fill with them because I did not have a threat. Prior to 2014 December 2014 I was a F1 student. After I went to Sri Lanka in 2013 I was threatened and I fear to go back. Then I decided to fill it in 2014. How can I get a earlier date Json and also the same judge, and may be I can link the cases with my fathers and brothers ?
PS – I am 26years old
Thank you again.
