Asylum Based Adjustment

[karenliao546 7]

I am here to ask some question for my friend who does no speak English.

 

Hi, can anyone tell me "we transferred your Form I-485 to an asylum office for processing" what does this mean?

Timeline for my case:

asylum was approved on 12/28/2018 in CA 

Filed I-485 on 01/09/2020

fingerprint was done on 03/05/2020

Fingerprint Review Was Completed on 03/06/2020

case was transferred to asylum office on 05/19/2020

I'm guessing here but I think they finished the initial processing and transferred the case now to the office that will do the final adjucating.

Kinda like with the other AOS cases that get send to the local field offices after the initial processing at NBC.

thanks! My friend has been worried that she might have an interview for her AOS as someone told her if case got transferred to the local asylum office, chance to get an interview is very high.

I don't know enough about asylum based AOS to say something about the possibility of an interview.

it appears from what ive read, AOS through asylum will always face an interview.

Your friend will most likely have to interview. Why is she worried?

That makes no sense. They interview asylum applicants overseas why wouldn’t they interview asylum applicants in country?

But you’ll get and have to do an interview in most cases for AOS (K-1 and K-3 could be exempt, other visa categories not so much).
