no they cannot, just show proof of your granted status

ICE should be able to verify your immigration record through your A-number. If you were already granted asylum and have valid proof of your asylee status, such as your I-94/asylum approval and A5 EAD, a pending I-485 by itself does not mean you are unlawfully present. If you have no criminal issues or other immigration complications, you should generally be fine.

@aln li ideally you should be fine but these days nothing is happening according to law and they are playing a lot in the grey are so can’t say for sure. I have a question for you. did you get approved by immigration judge or immigration officer? I want to know because I haven’t seen anyone with A5 EAD that were approved by the judge. how long did it take for you to get the A5 EAD after applying?

@S B My mother applied for it.

Same situation and I have encountered ICE a few months ago. I just explained my situation and he took my A5 card to his car for checking, then let me go. Don’t worry, you are safe.

@Jay T alright thank you!
