In reply to Believe. Time frames are impossible to predict. The last one we did, we got the approval and the interview scheduled in a month or two. Prior to that, we got the approval and the interview took place maybe 6 or 8 months later. Both of these cases were in Virginia. This assumes that the request was approved, of course, as most requests are denied or not answered. Take care, Jason

In reply to GN. I would contact them about your own case. You were not a dependent on her case, so you are (arguably) able to file your own cases independent of her and under LIFO. Anyway, if you want your case filed, it is worth a try. Otherwise, you can contact them to become a dependent on her case. Take care, Jason

Yes I was not married when she filed the case.
Now I am wondering that Will they call us for the interview or not within 45 days?

In reply to GN. I do not know, but if you were married before you applied for asylum, they may consider you a dependent of her case. This is odd, as it sounds like you were not married when she filed. There are a lot of procedural issues for cases where a dependent files for asylum in their own right - I have one such case, and we are getting conflicting messages about the procedure from the asylum office. I think your best bet is to contact the local asylum office and ask about the situation. You can find their contact info if you follow the link at right called Asylum Office Locator (under Asylum Seeker Resources). Take care, Jason

Helo Jason!
Hope you are having a great time.
I have a confusion regarding my asylum. Need your help.
I submitted my I-589 asylum form two weeks ago. I got married to a person who has already pending asylum status for 2 and half years. Now I applied for asylum and I also mention her as a spouse.
Today my spouse got a letter from U.S department of Homeland Security that we already have your case and we are unable to produce an additional reciept number.
Does this mean that my asylum application will not be considered according to the new law for U.S
citizenship and immigration service and directly linked to the 2 and half years old application of my spouse or will I be treated according to the current law and will be called for interview within 180 days?
Looking forward for your response.
