Q: I am citizen of IRAQ entered USA legally in 1994 and after arrival I applied to asylum but my application had been dined
My status now is final removal under supervision. Is there any chance for me to adjust my status and cancellation deportation and be able to apply for permanent resident. Thank you very much.
A:
It appears that you have let your case go without necessary legal assistance:
1. Even generally, from the beginning an asylum applicant must carefully prepare one's case on applicable legitimate grounds and assemble corroborative evidence as the burden of proof lies on Applicant to convince the USCIS on case merits,
2. When such application is referred for removal to the U.S. Immigration Court with jurisdiction over that submission Applicant and one's attorney must update, supplement, and bolster with additional corroboration the case for one's merit,
3. If Applicant's case is denied at that juncture on merits Applicant or one's counsel must file a timely Appeal with the BIA within 30 days,
4. Not handling such case properly, timely, or correctly, results in a legal limbo that needs to be carefully evaluated, especially with a 26 year procedural delay.
