What is ASC

It’s on your I-797 Application Support Center, simple fingerprint/photos

thank god. I don’t think I can undergo another interrogation. 

Please take a moment and post all the questions ( verbatim or close to) that you were asked at secondary and how long the interaction took…

What do I do with the i 193? Am I supposed to bring in the biometrics?

1. How long I was gone

2. the reason why I’m gone that long

3. Why I didn’t renew my GC right away

4. they asked all the purpose of travel for each trips I had in the PHIL 

5. They asked why I want to return to the usa

6. do I have family here, who are they 

7. what I did in the PHIL for all those years I was gone

8. what are my ties to the usa

 
They kept asking some of the questions over and over again

I was in secondary for 6 hours. The room was crowded. They looked at all the documents and records I brought. They inspected my luggages and hand carry. They told me that they will deport me right away and that I should start looking for flight back since my GC is no longer valid even with the i 797. Then I was told I will face the immigration judge. They were really scary. I have never been arrested in my life and during that time I felt like I committed a crime. After all the interrogation I waited for another 45 mins and they made me sign the i 193.

Lots of bluster and lies intended to break your spirit.  Total violation of policy.  What was the port of entry?

Frame it and post it in your bed  room as a daily reminder of what not to do.  
 

You should develop future habits that avoid the need to file I-193 in the future. So stop leaving the USA for a long time and stop letting your I-551 expire while abroad.  
 

I think you should stay in the USA for 5 straight years and file for naturalization

Did they ask for or take your phone at anytime?
 

Was there one Officer asking you questions or more than one?
 

Did you think anyone in the room was in a worse situation than you?

They didn’t take my phone

there were 3 CBP

There were tourists in the room and I saw some of them were crying. I knew there were tourists because they don’t speak English

they did not take my GC. They told me to come to my biometric. Does this mean I’m ok? My passports was stamp as admitted ‘LPR’ with 193.  I’m just waiting to be picked up by my relative.

 

You made it!  Congratulations!

 

I can imagine how traumatic the interrogation must have been.  I was in secondary for only around 15 minutes with a very polite CBP officer, but I was still terrified the whole time even if I managed not to show it.

Would biometric appointment ask me why I did not renew my green card and let it expire?

Nope. All the ASC does is take the letter , check your ID and do biometrics .. fingerprints and photo

Im confused

Did they take the original and payment at secondary ? Or do you now have to file it. You have to be given a biometrics  appointment not just turn up at the ASC  

 

or did the signed I193 just a “ formality “ ?

Incredible story! Gives so much hope for those in very similar circumstances🙌🏿
