I don’t understand why people think “ASYLUM” is not a good idea. I think it all depends upon why you wanted to file an Asylum. In my case I am glad I filed an asylum and was approved. Like most of the Nepali student in US, I graduated from the University with a good GPA. Burned myself working very hard to build up my resume but did that help me to get the job? NO NO NO NO. I had lots of potential but the only thing I was missing was a legal right to work in USA. I had 3 different companies who were interested to hire me but they wouldn’t hire me because I didn’t have legal paper to work in USA. Some of you might be thinking if the company was interested hiring you, why didn’t they file H1b for you? Well, they said that they don’t want to file H1b for my major (Finance/Accounting). I was always against filing an Asylum like many of you but I was so much frustrated when I was not hired only because of my legal status. I filed an Asylum got approved and right next day I was hired. They didn’t even ask for my EAD card. My approval letter was enough for the company to hire me and within 6 month I got promoted.   All my hard work paid off after I filed an Asylum. I am not encouraging people to file an Asylum but you need to be clear on why you want to file an Asylum.   I think I didn’t do anything wrong filing an Asylum.

"I think I didn’t do anything wrong filing an Asylum."  obviously, you got a job after filing asylum. why would you think you did wrong?  if they don't take you on H1B, go somewhere else! asylum is for people who NEED it, not for those who are so obssessed with US dollar and comfy lifestyle that they pee on their pants even at the thought of having to go back home.

Mankamanamai, I just emailed you.

Hey manakamai, were you on OPT when you filed for asylum? What would have been the consequence if u had been denied asylum; would you be allowed to return to OPT status? I have been looking for this answer but i haven't got clear answer from anyone. Plz share what you know. Last edited: 11-Aug-11 11:06 PM

Why are you feeling guilty if you didn't do anything wrong? I mean what is the essence of the thread? Do you want us to berate you on your lies or be jealous of your success?

 Filing an ASYLUM is not a good idea at all. What does ASYLUM mean?? You have a threat, your life is in danger if you go back to your home country. Does this apply in your case? Can't you actually go back home?  Did someone threatened you to kill you?? If your answer to these questions is NEGATIVE, off course, you did wrong by filing an asylum. You created a fake story and lied.  YOU ARE A LIAR!

You yourself say "it all depends on why you wanted to file an asylum". Given that your reason seems nowhere close to the reason an asylum is provided, you DID do something wrong, although in a legal way. You can bend the system your way, but does that make it right? There is a reason there is a generally negative public perception of lawyers, legal is not the same thing as right.

stifflers_mom · Aug 12, 2011 12:43 AM

so the times are hard lately .... lets say a nepal governemnt employee can barely make enough to support his family, so filing asylum is like this guy ghus eating.  deep inside this nepal govt employee knows it is not right and he dont wanna be called ghusiya but such is asylum ... deep inside u know u became saranarthi, i guess u have to what u have to do.   also may i say, filing asylum is like making ur SO work part time adult movies because u are tired of gas station income .... i guess there is a fine line for everyone. just dont apply coz its there!

The answer to your question was given long ago by Charles Darwin .... " SURVIVAL OF FITTEST"....... Darwin gave this theory based upon evolution of living being in this world.... We as human (especially in developed world) are going through MENTAL evolution. The system is there,some use it, some misuse it..... all to survive...... YOU HAVE DONE NOTHING WORNG..... you are just another creature trying to survive in this worl.... and yes as a human being your want to get what you think you deserve.... you just did that.... ITS NATURAL

gyanguru · Aug 12, 2011 4:06 AM

 @Gyanguru Some people rob banks to survive. Is that also "survival of the fittest?" You analogy is flawed.  Abusing the system is not the right thing to do... it negatively affects people who actually file for asylum for the right reasons.

 My guess is that that this guy hasn't file for assylum yet.He is just testing the water.He just want to investigate what the reactions (social)are going to be before he actually jump into it.Or,or,, he just want to waste his paid free time( probably "bored to death" night shift in a motel/gas-station) and enjoy by launching this thread and review the succeeding prolong worthless discussions.

@Jantarei : “if they don't take you on H1B, go somewhere else! asylum is for people who NEED it, not for those who are so obssessed with US dollar and comfy lifestyle that they pee on their pants even at the thought of having to go back home”   Can you tell me where I should have gone for H1B. I think you were in US job market in 2000-2001 when it was easy to find the company that sponsor h1b or smart ass with IT degree or the psycho Doctor or a jack ass thinking to work in the gas station rest of his life and party hard (with free beer and jhayap from gas station). Just to make it short I am not obsessed of US dollar but just wanted to get some professional experience and do something back home which I am doing right now with some of frens back home who graduated with US engineering degree. I don’t have to pee on my pants because even if I go back home I have potential to do a lot. I would pee in my pants if I have to look for Petrol and diesel station Job back home.   @life is good ..well dude, I even don’t have any feeling of becoming Saranarthi. I already got a GC and will be getting my citizen soon. “filing asylum is like making ur SO work part time adult movies because u are tired of gas station income” I never worked in the gas station so really don’t know how should I feel.   @ Timessguare: What can I say you dumb Einstein? You are genius. You detailed everything about me without even knowing me   For everyone that thinks I am lying   Do you really think our life is threatened back home? Do you really think there are people waiting to kidnap you and kill you?   95% of people who file for asylum might have some small issues back home but no one is waiting them back home to kill them and 5% of people who seriously have some issues back home also twist and turn their stories to make it real. This is not only the case of Nepal but also other countries who can file for Asylum. I am happy I belong to 95%.   Thanks everyone for your kind support and bitter words. AND YES I AM NOT GUILTY. I WOULD FEEL GUILTY IF I WAS WORKING IN THE GS OR MOTEL AFTER MY ASYLUM WAS APPROVED.   MANAKAMANA MATA LE HAMI SABAI KO RAKSHYA GARUN.

 " Just to make it short I am not obsessed of US dollar but just wanted to get some professional experience and do something back home which I am doing right now with some of frens back home who graduated with US engineering degree " Good to hear that people file asylum to do something good to the country.  Jun desh lai teti maya garchau tehi desh ma teknai sakidaina bhanera asylum file garne? Hera nepal ko bijog.  I think its mandatory to take ethics class before graduation. Didn't you take any ethics class when you graduated and at least learn something from them?  It looks like you didn't learn it elsewhere.

Dissident · Aug 12, 2011 10:03 AM

if you think you have potential then go home! asylum is not for you, and not for me or any other F1 students or H1B workers unless they are really qualify as per the conditions laid out by USCIS, period! stop making lame excuses to justify what you did. if they don't take you, go to some other place in the states, or to other countries, or even back home. you used asylum as a cheap n dirty fix for your problem because you were not ready/were not prepared to go back home which is not the right thing to do. and this is not just  for you, it's for all those F-1ers whose visa/opt is expriring/has expired and also for all H1Bers who tend to hide here in the states even after their visa expires. a girl from colombia who is in constant threat of being raped or even killed might not get asylum here in the states because of people like you who are literally siezing their ife saving opportunities for your selfish needs. 

jantare1 · Aug 12, 2011 10:06 AM

Yes you did wrong!!!Absolutely!! If it continues to happen USCIS won't believe the asylum case anymore or they will be very tight. It will directly impact all the people who are actually asylum and applying for asylum. So Indirectly, You smashed their career with your filthy and dirty deed.

ihateamerica · Aug 12, 2011 10:23 AM

Damn! this is the very first time my prediction failed, i have (99.99999999999999+0.1)% succes rate.............lol; but,Manakamana  Pal! it's very hard to understand, what's your point here in this thread. Are you trying to pour your frustration,guilt, anger,disappointment ,bragging and  be  an egotist(this n' that stuff) and/or mix of little bit of everything?? But, i don't  know why i still believe that you are 'bored to death' in a 'kaale south Indian dhoti-ko motel/gas-station night shift' and wasting your paid free time.Looks like he is on his way! Cooler Bharne ho ki barU ))))))))))))}}}} Last edited: 12-Aug-11 10:29 AM
