Does anyone know how long it takes to get an interview date an asylum office, if both cases of being in and out of status?

Generally no more than 4-6 weeks from the filing time. It really does not matter as to status at the time of filing except that if denied,the person without status will get a notice to appear before an immigration Judge.

Can I stay in the US on visa if I am married to a green card holder and am the father of a citizen?

Christine Victoria Troy
Answered by attorney Christine Victoria Troy (Unclaimed Profile)
Immigration lawyer at The Law Office of Christine Troy
You can ask for a visitor's visa to the US at your US consulate. Because you are married to a green card holder, it is very likely they will deny it because they will fear you will not leave the US once you get here. The alternative is for your wife to start the green card process for you. She can file the I-130 petition with DHS now. Under current processing times it will take about three years until you can enter as a green card holder. If your wife becomes a USC, then you can upgrade your petition and immediately move through the green card process.

I have a CD1 visa entered United StaTes. I got married more than a year ago to an American. Is there any hope for my case after the election?

Answered by attorney Alan Lee
Immigration lawyer at Alan Lee Arthur Lee, Attorneys at Law
You may still take advantage of the I-601A program under which your US spouse would file an I-130 petition for alien relative on your behalf, and upon its approval you would file an I-601A application to remove the bar of unlawful presence based upon extreme hardship to your US citizen spouse if the provisional waiver is not granted. If U.S.C.I.S. approves the I-601A, you would then begin consular processing with the National Visa Center with the aim of ultimately interviewing with the American consulate or embassy in your home country. Assuming that your only bar to the US was your unlawful presence, your interview would be like any other applicant's for an immigrant visa.Due to the limitations of the Lawyers.com Forums, Alan Lee, Esq.'s (the "Firm") participation in responding to questions posted herein does not constitute legal advice, nor legal representation of the person or entity posting a question.
