She has to apply for a visa on her own. Your invitation is probably not all that important. More important is evidence that she will return to her country after her visit. The fact that you filed for asylum may make the embassy less likely to issue her a visa if they think that she will also seek asylum, so she should have evidence of her connections to her country: family members, property, job, etc. You can also send her an invitation letter or anyone else who knows her can do that. Take care, Jason

Could you let me know if I’m eligible to invite my mother to visit me? I have had a pending asylum application since 2018. I previously attempted to obtain a travel document to visit her in a third country but was unsuccessful. Now, my only option is to invite her to the US. Is this possible, or would someone else need to send the invitation? If someone else were to invite her, do you think my pending asylum application would affect her visa application? Please advise.

If you are still a full time student in lawful status, you meet an exception to the one-year rule. If you plan to file for asylum, it is best to do that as soon as possible, and if you go out of status, you would need to file immediately in order to ensure that your application is timely. I wrote more about the one year bar on January 18, 2018, but if you file late and do not meet an exception to the rule, you would be ineligible for asylum, and so it is important to be careful about getting the application filed before your student status ends. Take care, Jason

I have read that eligibility for asylum may be affected by the one-year filing deadline for Form I-589, Application for Asylum and for Withholding of Removal. This deadline is generally calculated from the date of one’s last arrival in the U.S.
I am currently an international student with a valid F1 visa. I entered the U.S. 14 months ago. Given that I am beyond the one-year deadline, I am concerned about my eligibility for affirmative asylum.
Could you please advise on whether I can still apply for asylum, and if so, what exceptions or considerations might apply to my case?
Thank you for your guidance.

It is unpredictable. Supposedly, they are interviewing old cases and we are getting some interviews for people from 2015. We also once in a while get an interview for a random person who is not new (under LIFO) or old (from 2015). In general, though, I would not expect an interview for a 2018 case anytime soon, and if you want to get an interview, your best best is to try to expedite. I wrote about that on March 23, 2022. Take care, Jason

I do not remember exactly how the question is worded on the I-765, but I think it is pretty broad. If so, you may be required to inform USCIS about the arrest and they may delay a decision until the criminal case is resolved, and then require you to send them the disposition (final outcome). A charge with no conviction would not block you, but my concern is that you will have to report the arrest, which will cause a delay. Certainly, your criminal lawyer should be made aware of your immigration status, as a criminal conviction can have a negative effect on your eligibility for asylum or other relief. Take care, Jason

I don’t have any tickets or anything wrong on my record. I paid taxes on time from last 7 years. I’ll send them an email to expedite the case and I’ll try to contact congresswoman.
Actually my daughter she is in 11th grade now. After 12th grade, she will go the college. She needs green card for her higher education. That’s the only reason, I woke up now.

I have few more questions. Can we schedule an appointment and we can discuss over the phone.

Thank You Mr. Jason.

I hope you’re doing well! As for the Arlington office, from your perspective – accordind to USCIS resources they put into old cases interviews – how long would it take for them to get to 2018 cases?

Do pending charges also affect ead renewal for asylum seekers .i have a work permit based on pending asylum . But i lived with my partner. I was accused for domestic violence and charged with felony. I have a court date but it could take time for resolving case and getting guilty or non guilty conviction. Do pending charges bar asylum work permit. I know aggravated felony does but do pending cases affect it or no its after conviction.
