Hi Peter. I'm in the US working with an EAD obtained through a pending asylum application. I'm interested in making the transition to a work-sponsored greencard. I have not been able to determine if this is possible.

Do you have any insights into this process?

It is but it will depend on a number of factors including what status you were in when you entered the U.S., when you applied for asylum, and where you are in the asylum process.

I actually entered the US as an F1 student. My parents then came here and applied for asylum. Since I was underaged, I was included in their asylum application. we've been waiting for six years now. In essence, just waiting, and renewing EADs every two years as expected.

Thank you for the sharing knowledge!

Without knowing all the facts, it sounds like you could go the employer-sponsored green card route.
