My son born on January 8th, 2025 and my wife is a permanent resident but I have a pending decision asylum. Will this impact my son as well or not ?
I am waiting for his birth certificate, and as soon as I get it I will apply for his passport or technology citizenship.

Thank you so much for the work that you do including this breakdown of President Trump’s first steps.
There’s a certain lawyer on youtube whom I watch who insists that asylum seekers with pending cases should expedite their cases via the mandamus lawsuit ASAP since it is expected that Trump will continue making it more difficult to seek asylum. Would you agree with this reasoning? I’m considering it right now as I’ve been waiting for my interview for 8 years now.
