@Harjinder singh and @Qa khan : Once you're granted asylum, you should not use your country passport or contact your home country and its embassies. Doing so may result in the asylum being revoked. And if you got the green card based on asylum, this could cause the green card to be revoked as well.
The following is a responsibility of yours as an asylee, as written on the asylum approval notice:
1. Travel Outside of the United States
If you, or your family member(s) with derivative asylum status, plan to travel outside of the United States, you must each request permission to return to the United States before you leave this country by obtaining a refugee travel document. A refugee travel document is valid for one year and is issued to an asylee to allow his or her return to the United States after temporary travel abroad. If you, or your family member(s) with derivative asylum status, do not request a refugee travel document in advance of your departure from the United States, you may be unable to re-enter the United States or you may be placed in removal proceedings before an immigration judge.
------------
In short, using your home country passport after you were granted asylum even if you have the green card (based on the asylum) is a very dangerous game to play with the US immigration system.
Apply for the RTD and only use it from now on until you become a U.S. citizen and get the U.S. passport.

@Harjinder singh to which country you used RTD ?
Harjinder singh11h
someone suggest me what can I do now, apply rtd ,
Lilo Pelekai11h
@Qa khan: I'm sorry about that, and I know how difficult it is to not see your family for years. But when you applied for asylum, this was with the intention and understanding of renouncing your home country and any ties to it. USCIS' rules are clear, and you don't want to be found to have lied to them even once. You may arrange to see your family in a different country, but not your home country, and definitely not use your home country passport.

@Harjinder singh you are not supposed to use your country passport after your asylum is approved. Use the RTD only!!

@Harjinder singh apply for RTD. It may take about 14 months for approval. Good luck

@Harjinder singh Apply for the RTD and never use your home country passport.

@Harjinder singh - I notice that you like to argue and do not seem to abide by the rules upon which you were granted asylum. Lilo Pelekai and others have already given plenty of info BUT you still seem to justify the use of your passport (which you SHOULD NEVER BE USING at all per your immigration status regardless of your current status, because you are a green card holder as a result of having an asylee status, which is clearly marked as AS6 on your green card). To make your situation more délicate, you are already in trouble for Lying to the US government that you will not travel to the country of persecution, and yet you did or even by virtue of using your passport and you also did it further by blatantly ignoring the clear instructions given to you by the US government when you were approved as an asylee/refugee. Your passport has already been scanned by CBP according to your travel history, and it is in your immigration file that you used that passport of yours and NOT the RTD. Moreover, things could get ugly for you, which we don’t wish upon you and your family. With that being said, the US government can easily revoke your Green Card and put you in removal proceedings for the game you are playing, as you have not been forthcoming with what you have doing. They can even take a step further by REVOKING your citizenship in the future, if for example you were already naturalized, for misrepresentation. All of your lies will slap you at some point during your immigration journey if you seriously continue to play dumb games. Ignorance is NOT an excuse to violate our immigration laws. ICE and USCIS is watching. Just because X or Y did it in the past does not mean it will always work in your favor. Lastly, you can also apply for a re-entry permit as a green card holder which is valid for a duration of two years. with that, you can still get visa stamps on it along with your RTD (a much recommended one for you). So DO NOT DO what you have been doing, as you will end up being DEPORTED to your country with that stupid passport of yours. Because you would not have applied for our US protection through the filing of asylum if, indeed, you were truthfully persecuted by your home country.
