Adjustment of Status for Asylees

By law, only 10,000 asylees can adjust status to Lawful Permanent Resident per year; however, the Service is receiving 15,700-28,200 applications per year. As a result, as of May 10, 2002, approximately 96,600 asylee adjustment applications were pending. Through September 30, 2002, we are processing applications received on or before June 9, 1998. We anticipate that we will process the remaining pending applications according to the following schedule:

  Date Received Timeframe to be Processed
  June 10, 1998-Feb. 1, 1999 Oct. 1, 2002-Sept. 30, 2003
  Feb. 2, 1999-Sept. 14, 1999 Oct. 1, 2003-Sept. 30, 2004
  Sept. 15, 1999-Mar. 13, 2000 Oct. 1, 2004-Sept. 30, 2005
  Mar. 14, 2000-Aug. 3, 2000 Oct. 1, 2005-Sept. 30, 2006
  Aug. 4, 2000-Dec. 27, 2000 Oct. 1, 2006-Sept. 30, 2007
  Dec. 28, 2000-Apr. 30, 2001 Oct. 1, 2007-Sept. 30, 2008
  May 1, 2001-Aug. 16, 2001 Oct. 1, 2008-Sept. 30, 2009
  Aug. 17, 2001-Nov. 26, 2001 Oct. 1, 2009-Sept. 30, 2010
  Nov. 27, 2001-Feb. 20, 2002 Oct. 1, 2010-Sept. 30, 2011
  Feb. 21, 2002-undetermined Oct. 1, 2011-Sept. 30, 2012

 

We emphasize that these dates are APPROXIMATIONS; unforeseen occurrences may delay processing. In September 2002, we will determine and publish the received dates to be processed between October 1, 2002 and September 30, 2003 more precisely.

If you move, please notify the Nebraska Service Center by sending a letter or Form AR-11, Change of Address Form, to:

BCIS Nebraska Service Center
P.O. Box 87865
Lincoln, NE 68508-7865

Be sure to include your case receipt number or A-number. Please note that only address changes will be processed at this address. Non-address-change inquiries received at the PO Box cannot be answered. Also be aware that notifying the Center of an address change for a pending application DOES NOT satisfy the requirement to notify the Service of your whereabouts. Instructions for that notification can be found in the instructions for Form AR-11, Change of Address Form.

While your I-485 is pending, you are permitted to travel outside the U.S.; however you must have a valid Refugee Travel Document to reenter the country.

This information may not have been updated to reflect subsequent changes in the law, if any. Your particular facts and circumstances, and any changes in the law, must be considered to determine appropriate legal advice. Always consult with a competent immigration lawyer to discuss your particular situation.
