Hi Jason,

You mean we can file a brand new asylum application even after being referred to the court?

Thanks
Saad

I don’t know that they will ask for evidence about this, though it won’t hurt to have any evidence, just in case they do ask. The most important thing is that the I-485 is consistent with prior forms that you filed. Take care, Jason

These requests are usually pretty fast – maybe a month or a few months. I do not know specifically about NY, though. I don’t think it hurts to call the court (you can find their number if you follow the link under Resources called Immigration Court), but I am not sure whether they will be able to help. Anyway, it is usually not so difficult to reach them (though I think it is worse in NYC), so maybe it is worth a try. Take care, Jason

Thank you Jason for all the clarification. Yes, it’s my marriage case. I don’t have a complicated case. There is one question on I-485 Part 8- General Eligibility and Inadmissibility 1. Have you ever been a member of, or involved …, I did say YES and mentioned a political party member and professional association. Should I prepare for support for such documents? I can get the professional membership part but not the Political part (the Party dissolved 6 yrs ago). Thank you again.

It may be that the decision is not yet final, but it sounds like it will be referred. 1 – In court, you can (and probably should) each file your own I-589, though whoever was the leader at the asylum office will have their I-589 referred to court, so you can just continue to use that one. The dependent can file their own form, and list the principal from the first case as the dependent on the second case. 2 – You can have one lawyer, and that is the normal practice. Take care, Jason

Tbh i get it right away. I get fingerprints receipts before my acceptance receipt and before i applied for expedited processing. Weird 🤷🏻‍♂️
NBC officer will send you an email too and once they sent you an email it’s usually 24-48 hr until approval and 48hr after approval to get your RTD.

Thank you for your response, this is very helpful! After your case had been moved to NBC, approx. how long did it take for your status to be changed to “fingerprints taken”? I am comparing to my previous case from 2 years ago, and that took me about a month back then. Thanks again!

Yeap. I have expedited multiple times for me and my wife.
Chat with Emma or call USCIS agent, if he agrees you will get a call back from Tier II officer…she called me at 8p.m. EST because apparently they are based everywhere so she said that i’m her last call from CA. I’ve submitted all the evidence ahead of time so she just reviewed them and said im good to go. She was able to find my wife too and did both. Then if Good you will get an email about meeting min criteria and your case being transferred to NBC(Nebraska) most likelt and will provide you with some case number that you can’t track(WTC029394949)…then you have to wait for NBC officer to review the request because apparently they are the once who make decisions to expedite….
Same thing happened to me 3 times when i’ve expedited my case…

‼️INPORTANT‼️
Check your RTD and make sure everything is correct…the amount of mistakes they make is ridiculous and if you need to fix something it will take 4-6 months to fix WITH the expedition request…
Good luck and congrats.
After you get that email usually you will get your RTD in3-4 days…
