@P C I currently have a pending asylum application and recently attended my interview(eb3). Just a week after the interview, I received a Request for Evidence (RFE), which I haven’t responded to yet. My lawyer believes there’s a 99% chance that USCIS will deny my I-485 application because they consider asylum as not being a lawful status. Could you share how your AOS case got approved? Was there anything specific you did to strengthen your case or address any issues that came up?

@EB3333 Unskilled our interview questions were 90% about my husbands job related. the only question related to asylum was if is still pending and being in a pending asylum is the discretion of the officer to approve or not since this is a gray area.

@P C did you guys have any other status, besides the pending asylum? I was in the same boat, but my case got denied...

@EB3333 Unskilled any updates, what did you end up doing

@P C Did you use a lawyer and what field office because I heard it depends on the field office some have an internal policy to deny such cases and others don’t.

@Einar Adam are you a nurse? other than asylum did you have any other?

@Lulu N I’m an engineer and actually my greencard application based on EB2-niw was approved back in November 2025

@Einar Adam did you have pending asylum? which lawyer helped you? im a nurse, im current but choosing consular processing with advance parole over i485 due to the denials I've seen. I also have pending asylum.

@Lulu N yes I had a pending asylum. my lawyer told me it’s 10% chance it all depends on the officer and the office policy. Mine ended up in Buffalo NY and got approved in about three months. To be honest, my lawyer didn’t do anything special and her strategy was basically to not draw attention to the pending asylum so she just wrote a page of legal brief. If you have the option to go abroad do it, it’s safer than AOS but I didn’t have a passport so I had to do AOS as my home country passport was expired.

@Einar Adam wow thats great, kindly send me your lawyers contact. Did you apply for asylum after before your i94 expired? do you mind sharing the legal brief with me? or state some points here?

@Lulu N if you still need some info. share your contact info here and I’ll share what I have
