The problem is that if you do it early you run the risk of being denied if your vessel is awarded in less than a year. My recommendation is that you wait 6 months because I have seen cases approved quickly in up to 3 months and also cases approved in 16 months. My advice is to wait 6 months.

If you file it now you approve before a year you will regret because you will have a lot think to do like her 👇 https://www.reddit.com/r/USCIS/s/LsxT5eNLzv

Thank you!! @marvin Mejia

@LN Asylee Thank you

i suggest do it now but without medical. if they look in your case in 6 months than they will at least ask you to send the medical and give you another 2 months to reply back. you than according to your time send them as late as possible so they receive and check it in 30-60 days after receiving medical from you. the only concern is what if they see your application earlier than 6 months.

initially I was gonna wait for six months after my asylum approval and apply for I-485, however, because the new administration is coming to office my attorney advised we apply now. So I have applied even though it has been almost four months since asylum grant.

@A K thanks for information! have you sent medical along with your i485?

@viki hope No, I haven’t on purpose. My attorney says in case my application get adjudicated too early sending the medical will buy me some time.

hey @A K Here is a new article released yesterday: USCIS Now Requires Report of Immigration Medical Examination and Vaccination Record to Be Submitted, check with your attorney this rule will applicable for asylee, If yes, I would recommend you to submit your medical. check it here : https://www.uscis.gov/newsroom/alerts/uscis-now-requires-report-of-immigration-medical-examination-and-vaccination-record-to-be-submitted#:~:text=We%20now%20require%20certain%20applicants,485%20may%20otherwise%20be%20rejected

@viki hope oh interesting. I submitted my application at the end of November and received the receipt notice. So I’m guessing it’s a requirement now for people filing after December 2. I believe I should not be affected but I will check with my attorney tomorrow.

@viki hope checked with my attorney and she says I’m good since we filed before Dec 2. just fyi

@A K great, thanks for sharing this information ℹ️
