from asylum to eb3
hello Folks
My husband and me came to EEUU in 2015 with a F1 visa.
we applied for asylum on 2017 while our student status were still active. The asylum is still pending never got court citation.
Student status expired en June 2018.
My husband applied for EB3 on April 2019.
We applied for TPS on 2021 and got approval.
We finally had a greencard interview last week in Oakland park,Fl office.
The officer stated we acumulated almost a year of ilegal status because asylum is not a legal status.
My husband told her we never stayed illegal we have a protection with the pending asylum and TPS.
She said to wait 180 days to get and answer.
after 4 days we received a RFE (request for evidence) asking to submit evidence to establish that we maintained lawful status, f1, school records, proves that we attended univerisity, transcripts, tuition bills, etc.
do you think getting a RFE is a good signal?
Would you recommend to send with all this requirements a letter from us stating that it’s not our fault that our asylum hasn’t been resolved and it was because of this situation that we accumulate illegal status ?
B2 visa
Anyone have luck applying for a B2 while waiting on I130? My husband is in Australia and I am in Texas. He got sent back, not deported, bc earned money on ESTA. Or do you think an ESTA? or just out of luck on both 🤷🏼♀️

How to apply for expedite request
Please can someone kindly share with me how to apply for expedite request. I have an urgent need to travel based on family emergency. A live agent from Emma asked me to create an online account and apply through that. But I didnt find any option to apply for that. Does employment-based GC have such option? I thought only family GC with IOE... receipt number can do more online stuffs. Kindly share your experience. Thanks!
