Q: Is it true that u have to wait 7 - 31 months to get your greencard after you win your case on politic asylum?
Why does it have to be such a long wait for a greencard? Is it possible to talk with the officers about that , because they told me u can't complain at least after 31 months passed. That's ridiculous..Before i think it was not even 6 months..
A:
You cannot file for a green card until one year after your grant of asylum. Then, according to the USCIS website, it is taking between 7 and 31 months to process the application.
While it is true that this is an unusually long time based on earlier estimates, it is important to remember that many factors, including the make up of the current administration, can impact the length of time it takes to get any immigration benefit. This administration is giving more scrutiny to asylum applications in general, including adjusting from asylum status to permanent residence.
