    Default Green Card from Asylum with AS Code

    Dear Friends,

    I am currently a legal permanent resident, who just got married to a US citizen. Just FYI, i got my residency through asylum before i'm married to a US citizen. Now, my green card has an "AS" code which means that i got my residency from asylum.

    We are planning to visit the country that i claimed my life was threaten. we would really appreciate if anyone could help us understand what is the risk if we go ahead with our plan? Does anybody know any document(s) required by the US immigrant officer for asylum permanent resident to be able to visit the other country?

    Thank you.

    Default Re: Green Card from Asylum with AS Code

    According to a DHS Fact Sheet, dated December 27, 2006,
    Quote Quoting Possible Consequences of Returning to the Country of Claimed Persecution
    Returning to one’s country of claimed persecution may be relevant to a number of termination grounds. For instance, asylum status could be terminated based on a fundamental change in circumstances in the asylee’s country of persecution. Termination could also occur due to fraud in the asylum application such that the asylee was not eligible for asylum. Return to the country of feared persecution can, in some circumstances, be considered evidence that the asylee’s alleged fear of persecution is not genuine. In addition, termination of asylum status could occur if an “alien has voluntarily availed himself or herself of the protection of the alien’s country of nationality . . . by returning to such country with permanent resident status or the reasonable possibility of obtaining such status with the same rights and obligations pertaining to other permanent residents of that country.”

    Accordingly, an asylee or a lawful permanent resident who obtained such status based on a grant of asylum status may be questioned about why he or she was able to return to the country of claimed persecution and, in some circumstances, may be subject to proceedings to terminate asylum status.
