Hi everyone,
I have some very confusing questions regarding my situation. I have been reading comments posted on Sajha but still haven't found some important answers, the main factors in terms of taking decisions for my future because I am planning everything based on those. I evaluated enough and it's the time to take decisions.
Here are questions:
1) I am trying to decide when is the best for me to apply for TPS with EAD cause I am on OPT and it will expire in Feb, 2016. After talking to my school adviser and a lawyer, I still didn't get the answers. School suggested to go to see a lawyer and the lawyer said that school questions should be answered by them.
Furthermore, I want to maintain my F1 status. Therefore, I am planning to apply for TPS with EAD in November. So, if I get biometrics notification after about a month or so, then I should get my another EAD on Jan or Feb, 2016 (based on average time calculation and it will be 3 months). Meanwhile, I will prepare to join University according to my plan. I will also have 60 days of grace period to join another school after getting my new EAD. What do think guys? Is this a good idea? Please share your suggestions because it's bugging me.
2) For the EAD application through TPS, question 11 "which USCIS office and Dates" Do I have to write something like SRC (eg) but my adviser said CA service center and what should be the date, is it "valid from" date? Moreover, I chose c (19) for eligibility category. I am guessing I don't need to write my major like I did when I applied for OPT.
3) Finally, on i-821 application, page 6 (eligibility standards), I see "yes" or "no" questions. I have marked all "No" based on my background but if I have applied for Asylum, do I need to change my answer about political questions. Or if any one knows about a person who has filed for asylum should have any different answers on i-821 than a F1 student. Please let me know.
I really appreciate all of your time.
