Your daughter can come here as she is a citizen and your wife can come with the visa. If your wife is here, she could file her own case or she could be added to your case. If you want to add her, contact the asylum office and they can tell you what to do – you can find their contact info if you follow the link at right called Asylum Office Locator. Take care, Jason

Hi BAE, What is the latest asylum interview timeline in Newark office? Have you heard of anyone that has applied between January – August 2017 being interviewed? Thank you!

I do not really do DACA cases, so I don’t follow that too closely, though I know the program is still operating (despite the President’s efforts to end it). However, I think a new applicant cannot apply for DACA, but I am not sure. You should talk to a lawyer who does more such cases. Take care, Jason

Good day Mr Jason! Thanks for your help always!
What is the present status of daca?
Are they accepting new appreciation ?
Can a sixteen year old that arrived in USA in 2016 apply for daca?
Thanks and regard!!

BAE could you please share your timeline? When did you apply for asylum?

I think that is a more general warning, and it does not apply to anyone who has the ability to re-enter the US. For example, an H1b person who is adjusting status can leave and re-enter. So can someone who has an RTD. Take care, Jason

This is an extract from the i-131 instructions (page 1) “Generally, if you are in the United States and have applied for adjustment of status to that of a lawful
permanent resident, your application will be deemed abandoned if you leave the United States without first obtaining an Advance Parole Document.”
Yes an asylee may travel abroad with valid TD but if he/she has a pending i-485, he/she can not travel even with a valid TD because the pending i-485 will be considered abandoned and void. But I am still confused.

You’re right. We’re all in the same boat regarding confusion over the matter.
It’s just getting really annoying sometimes when things don’t go the way they should.
The hotline still says the same original 2020/09 date for Individual hearing, I hope that won’t get stretched out to more years.
We’re supposed to consult with our attorney next week as I hope he can inquire or get more information.
I know we shouldn’t put a pause on our lives but life is definitely harder and plans for the future are uncertain.

I think that applies to people without some other type of entry document. I have never heard about anyone with a valid RTD who was refused re-entry, so as long as it is valid, you should be able to travel and return with the RTD. Take care, Jason
