Green Card /Asylum Process?

It depends on which court the case was filed, and there may be several hearings before a final decision is made. The first step is an interview with a USCIS asylum officer within 43 days of the filing of the petition. A first hearing in front of an immigration judge may take place within six months. Aslyum applicants are supposed to file within one year of arrival. A late application has a high likelihood of beind rejected unless there are extraordinary circumstances.
