Asylum and Marriage based AOS (2025/2026)
I filed for Asylum in 2017, and basically nothing has happened ever since besides a couple EAD renewals.
The last renewal I did was in 2024, which was approved but surprisingly, instead of the usual 2year interval, i got 5 years (expires in 2029).
Fastforward to July 2025, USCIS scheduled my first Asylum interview for August 2025, which I couldn’t attend for a couple of reasons.
July 2025, my lawyer’s assistant mailed out a request to USCIS to reschedule my interview date and we basically heard nothing from them until Feb 2026.
Meawhile, I got married to my USC girlfriend of over 3 years in July 2025, and in September, we filed for AOS(I-485 and I-130) concurrently.
a few days later, USCIS mailed us receipts notices acknowledging that they have received our applications and that they’re currently working on them.
Feb 2026, I got a mail stating that my asylum application was closed not just because I missed my interview but also because my Asylum office did not receive any formal request to reschedule, hence, they forwarded the case to an immigration court, and my court date is scheduled for March 2026.
not gonna lie, I’m kinda concerned atp.
Any thoughts guys?
should I be worried about ICE being there on my first court hearing?
what happens to my current EAD with the case having been closed by USCIS?
and if the judge decides to close the case due to my pending AOS application, will I still be able to work with my EAD while waiting for my AOS to be processed?
