1 – If the case was in court and it was terminated, that should have been the end of the asylum case. You only need to withdraw asylum when it is with the Asylum Office. 2 – Yes. Take care, Jason

Thank you once again for everything.
After my asylum referral was terminated in court based on a pending I-130, I’m glad to inform you that my subsequent 485 has been approved and a green card issued.
Now, my question.
1. Do I need to apply to withdraw my asylum application, based on the fact that I’m now a permanent resident, and for the reason that the circumstances in my country has improved, or

2. is that termination by the court an automatic withdrawal of the asylum application?
Pls, advise.

You should talk to a lawyer about the case, as it is more difficult to succeed on a case where you file the I-751 without your spouse. Also, I do not do divorce law, which varies by state, and so if the divorce is final, you can file the I-751, but I do not know whether your documents constitute a final divorce. A lawyer can review the documents to see that as well. Finally, be aware that you have to file the I-751 before the 2-year green card expires, and so if the card is expiring soon, you will have to file whether the divorce is final or not. Take care, Jason

Hi Jason

The status of divorce from the courts, I received the findings and order letter as well as the Judgement of divorce stating “The agreement of the parties is approved and incorporated into and made part of this judgement….”, dated 1/30/25.

Can i apply for removal of conditions with these two or just the judgement of divorce letters as evidence of divorce? These are all that i have for now.

Also, can i submit the same evidence i submitted from initial application together with new evidence after the GC was awarded?

Thank you

I think the likelihood of having a problem with US immigration is very low, and given your explanation, it seems very unlikely that the person could be accused of a fraudulent asylum case. Nevertheless, it does not hurt to be able to explain why he returned and how he stayed safe. I do not think documents from the home country police are needed, as the chances of a problem are very low, but being able to explain the trip if asked is probably enough (and I think it is very unlikely that anyone will ask). Take care, Jason

Sorry, I have no idea about this. I think you would have to find a lawyer or organization in Poland that helps refugees and knows about asylum there. Take care, Jason

Regarding someone who obtained American citizenship through asylum, back in 2014 he was involved in protests and faced detention a couple of times, which he demonstrated during his asylum interview. They even conducted a home visit a year after his arrival in the US. Ultimately, he was granted asylum, subsequently obtaining a green card and then citizenship. However, as you know, circumstances evolve, and it has been 11 years since those events. Now, this individual wish to return to his home country as an American citizen for 3 weeks visit. He can bring a documentation from the local police in his home country stating that he is no longer wanted and that his record is clean now! Do you think this would suffice as evidence if a CBP officer tries to give him hard time when he comes back? I mean, returning to his home country after 12 years doesn’t inherently indicate that the original case was fraudulent, especially since he no longer protests or engages in politics. We live in a nation governed by laws, and while individuals may have their opinions and feelings, they cannot substantiate claims solely based on feelings without solid evidence. It’s not sufficient to say that the applicant visited his country after becoming a citizen and there is no law backing that! What are your thoughts on this situation, Jason?

The form is the I-751, available at http://www.uscis.gov. You have to review the instructions for fees and how to present the case. Once you get the receipt from that, it extends the current 2-year green card for purposes of work and travel, but if you plan to travel, you may want to file for a re-entry permit, form I-131, as that is a more secure document and may make travel easier. I do think you should consider using a lawyer, as the consequences of making a mistake can be severe, and also, there are different legal standards depending on the status of your marriage (divorced or separated). Take care, Jason

We recently got a notice for a 2018 case in Virginia, so who knows what they are doing? Take care, Jason
