Hi I already have my green card 4 years now my N 400 citizenship got denied because My asylum case is on administrative close I was told I need a termination proceding can just go the court and ask for hearing date so they can close it .

No ! U might get hearing date a year from now. Get a lawyer to file motion to reopen and motion to terminate ! Better do it now before we got new president ! 
 

how did you get ur GC ? Normally GC won’t be approved if ur case is admin closed in court

Please let the current thread remain the only thread on this topic.

You adjusted when your asylum case was with the Immigration Court?

i wont say i am lucky if im in your shoes since at the moment u hit a road block. get a good deportation lawyer, not just a "lawyer". go to the court and ask around. usually there are plenty of deportation lawyer who always in the court doing cases for their client. u want that lawyer and not just immigration lawyer.

there are couple of story when some people have different A# ( i understand alien # is assigned for life, but in practice, many people got a new one because they dont disclosed the old one) that's why their USCIS case and court case arent connected

ouch indeed ! maybe they are getting better with it, but TBH i literally just heard a friend of a friend of a friend told me he applied for asylum. this person has no last name ( typical indonesian), and just added a new "last" name, and guess what? EAD came with a brand new spanking name. i was wondering how this adjudicator actually did "background" check. 

 

so the discrepancy between last name and combination of different A# is the problem thats why i think USCIS didnt catch it when someone is in removal proceeding. As far as i know, n-400 background check is something else. i just found out a month ago when a friend of mine got n-400 interview. IO asked 4 times if she has a different name, and she said NO. until he said a different last name and then it hit her. ex husband use his last name as her last name ( not legal name) ONCE  20 years ago for health insurance and USCIS actually catch it. cant blame her she dont remember because ex husband has no legal documentation to add the name on the insurance and it only used once. lucky she still got approved and get same day oath ceremony

It is certainly not unknown for people to be mistakenly issued 2 A numbers, seen that.

 

I had not come across asylum seekers doing it deliberately in the hope they would not be tracked.

i agree. i dont even think they  think about it. to live in the US especially not in sanctuary cities is tough without last name. in LA, NYC is common to see : FNU, LNU, No name GIven. but then in another states, with that FNU as surname its not easy to open bank account, get a job etc because its weird.

can always file AOS to USCIS while in removal proceeding, but USCIS cant adjudicate i-485 until removal proceeding terminated.

once removal proceeding terminated, go back to USCIS to reopen i-485. 

 

seems for some reason USCIS didnt catch it while OP AOS'ing but catched it on n-400
