I-765. Eligibility category for pending asylum dependent

[kriegerd 0]

Hello everyone,

I applied for asylum this year.

150 days have passed and I'm about to file I-765 for me and another one for my wife (she was listed as a dependent in the asylum application).

Question 16 asks for the Eligibility Category. In my case it's c8, because I'm the asylum applicant with pending asylum application.

But in her case I cannot find anything that matches in the I-765 instructions (http://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/files/form/i-765instr.pdf)

My guess would be that it's the same category since there's nothing else close to her case, but she is not an applicant, she is listed as a dependent in my application.

Has anyone else gone through this? Any help is appreciated.

Best regards.

If your application has been approved which could be a metrical within 10 months then you are good to go. Otherwise asylum cases can take up to 40 years waiting time. I am not saying your case but there are people waiting for that long. If your application is under process you have NO rights to work - travel. The only rights as an asylum seeker you have is breading and very basic health care options (life threating events), that's all

Please if you are going to post be sure that it is based on accurate information and also that it's relevant to the question.
Here's a quote from USCIS:
"You may request permission to work if your asylum application is pending and 150 days have lapsed since your application was accepted by USCIS".
