Legal Question in Immigration Law in California

Re: immigration question

The issue at this point is whether the CIS has stated what their reasons for failure to rule on your petition for more than a year may be.

There may be issues of incompetence on the part of either the CIS or federal law enforcement,upon whom the CIS will depend for a proper security background check for your approvability for your asylum to be granted. Once asylum is granted you may petition for a green card within one year.

If you have the desire to discuss your matter further, and you do not yet have counsel, contact me at [email protected].

Re: immigration question

Dear Inquirer:

Since withholding of removal is technically an order of removal, you cannot file for a green card solely on the basis of the withholding status, in contrast to asylum.

If you have some other, independent basis to seek immigrant status, it may be possible to reopen the case and file for a green card on that basis.

Re: immigration question

You really should consult an Immigration Attorney. Please send me an email if in Southern California with your contact information and we can discuss your particular facts. There is no fee for consultation.
