Hey Allen,

I had the same experience I was called after about two months of my interview and got another interview but it was short and there was new officer and after exactly 21 days I got approved. I wish you all the best.

Thanks to God. I received EAD that is valid for two years. You may not remember the case. First applied Nov 2016, Interview March 2019, Decision March 2021, and the card is valid till March 2023.
Another sign of good change in the practice of USCIS. I am sharing this to promote hope about positive change would be possible.
Sit tight all. Do not lose your hope but at the same time do something. No change will come without a demand. Imagine everyone in the backlog submits inquiries, ask senators, representative, and ombusdman about fair practice constantly they will need to do something. Give them a reason to have this revision on their list

Great, very helpful. Thank you, Jason.

We once received an Advance Parole document that expired 2 days after we received it. Ridiculous is right. Take care, Jason

You can – it is best to send it by email, as long as it is relatively short. Make sure to include your Alien number and the date of your interview. Take care, Jason

Ridiculous and nonsense. They can be serious about this. What is the point then issuing an expired EAD? They could have print a new one

Asylee, I just realized that I didn’t answer the question. You should travel with your RTD while your I-485 is pending. What’s important is that the RTD is still valid- or hasn’t expired- when you are seeking “admission” into the U.S. Having a pending I-485, as an asylee, doesn’t mean you should get an AP. You can continue use a valid RTD to leave and enter the country. The RTD can even be used after you’ve adjusted your status.

Hi Jason,

Thank you for this input. Sorry, to clarify and reiterate, I meant AFTER the affirmative asylum interview? For instance, if you walk out of the interview and think it’d be helpful for the officer to have this document (even if she or he didn’t ask for it). Is there a way to submit those documents after the interview?

Thanks kindly.

You can – you have to submit it at least one week before the interview, and you have to send it by mail (though you can send small documents by email, but I think the limit is 12 pages or something – I have sent large documents anyway, and mostly they seem to accept it, but it is better to send it by mail). You can find the mailing address if you follow the link under Resources called Asylum Office Locator. Also, you should submit two copies of each piece of evidence. Take care, Jason

Yes, we do that all the time. You usually have to submit the new evidence and info at least one week before the interview, but the rules at different asylum offices vary. Take care, Jason
