I currently have F1 status and TPS both, but my F1 will expire soon. Is it possible to adjust status from TPS to F1 without leaving the US if I pursue my Masters in the fall?

Moving should not affect the wait time. When a GC person files for a spouse, there is a waiting period – you can see that if you Google “DOS visa bulletin.” For that reason, USCIS does not process these cases very quickly. If you have the receipt, you should be fine. Take care, Jason

1 – The first EAD based on asylum approved is free. You should have received that automatically, but if not, you can apply for it and it is free, so there is no reason not to apply. 2 – Yes, if it is the first EAD based on asylum approved, category a-5. 3 – If it wants the -94 from when you entered, use that, but if it wants the most recent, use the asylum I-94. Either way, include a copy of both I-94 documents with your application so USCIS has them both. 4 – If it about the entry, I would provide the entry I-94 and the info about how you entered. 5 – If you have an SSN, you should state that you do, and you do should not request a new one. Take care, Jason

I am not sure I can answer specific questions unless I know more about your case, and here, I would need to know what are the questions. Take care, Jason

Thank you. 1 – Yes, but you may need to file a motion to re-calendar and then terminate proceedings. Maybe you or your lawyer can contact the local DHS (prosecutors) office to see what they say (you can find a link under Resources called DHS Office of the Chief Counsel). 2 – I think she cannot get asylum from the I-730 until the court case is dismissed, but I am not 100% sure about that. In any event, I think it is important to get the case dismissed, and so I would work on that. Take care, Jason

Presumably that is what it means. Aside from emailing them to ask for the letter, you could do a Freedom of Information Act request and get a copy of your entire file – including hopefully the withdrawal letter. There is a link under Resources called FOIA USCIS to do that. Take care, Jason

We are Asylee. My son is GC holder. He got marriage from my home country. He applied online form i130 in August 2023. 16 Months passed but no progress. We have checked online processing time lines but what is in your person experience? He applied from Texas and now moved to NC and changed address too. Will change of address dos low the case? So what is experienced wait time for approval from USCIS? any idea?

Congrats and best wishes for your new journey.
I have a few questions if you don’t mind me helping.
I was granted asylum in Immigration Court in August this year. I know asylees do not need an EAD to work but heard its good to have. My pending asylum EAD is still valid.

1. Should I apply for an new EAD?

2. If I do, should I select initial EAD in the I765 form?

3. The question about I-94 number in the form. Should I write my I-94 numbe4 from the time I entered into the US or the one that I received after my Asylum grant?

4. If I enter the new I-94, what should the answers to the subsequent questions be as this section says details of last entry in US.

5. Should I check the box to issue SSN? I already have SSN from my old EAD. Will checking this issue me a replacement card without the SSN restrictions on it?

Appreciate your help with this. Thank you.
