I have a couple of these.

Born in Somalia.


TRIED TO GET ASYLUM IN 1998 FROM SOMALIA. USED A DIFFERENT NAME.

His "crime" was he was already a Canadian Citizen, and then went to Mexico to cross into the US and pretend he needed asylum.

Not unusual, I get clients like this quite often. Mostly they do it when they are Landed, not a citizen, but other than that, nothing unusual.

2.5 years later.....still no response, also no response from emails either. He is obviously frustrated, he wants a "no" or a "yes".

I wanted to highlight this for those who might be in the same boat.

@J Rogers May I ask if those super-lengthy cases all from Somalia? Do they share something in common? I am already on 402 days because of misrepresentation which happened 7 years ago. I got nothing so far. I am afraid that I am becoming one of those cases.

In my experience, not all Somali cases go this route. I also have a client from Pakistan. The office in Brampton so very multi-cultural clientele now, unlike 15 years ago. I have had most problems with Somalia, Pakistan, and obviously Iran born clients, especially when they are a misrepresentation. Remember as well, these are a small percentage of my overall clients, so the vast majority are on the regular 2 timelines, 345 days and 90 days.

@J Rogers question I sent a RFE response paper filed… they say mail to the address stated on the RFE letter which I did I used UPS but once I sent to address is Virginia for the ARO it went to Capital Heights MD I’m told this is a screening center for the mail so it did reach the right place I’m told but it has to go thru there before it reaches its final stop. I’m worried it didn’t reach the right place but everywhere I’m seeing is that all Mail tends to go there first as mail can’t directly go to there office without stopping in CAPITAL HEIGHTS MD does anyone know about this I used UPS! Do I need to send it again..

Have you seen the RFE responses mail to them go to capital heights MD first ?

And the address on the shipping label was identical to the letter I received from the ARO sterling Virginia

@J Rogers Thank you for the details and your time! I am Chinese-born Canadian so just wonder if you have clients like me and experience lengthy delays?

J Rogers (trusted member) Trusted

@zkb

I don't have a ton of Chinese born, just a few, so I am not sure of any patterns with Homeland Security involving China. I don't remember any delays that I thought were specifically because of that, but I may not have a large enough sample size either.

Client told me he has a simple "Aggravated assault" but in fact, the transcripts showed a much more serious "assault". He had a 6.5 year sentence.

So what is weird, is they also asked him for a I-212. But because he was not in Canada at the time, we had no way to file it and also, because his waiver had been filed so long ago, he needed new fingerprints. So we decided to give them what they wanted (we need it for future waiver anyways) and just not file the I-212. Why? Once I read the transcripts, I realized this assault was VERY serious and the personal letter I submitted was not an accurate representation of what happened.

So we submitted everything well before the deadline, but no I-212.

On March 17 2026 they wrote a letter (form letter) that says "we asked you for xyz, you did not respond, we are closing your file". We expected that.

But they didn't email him or PUT the letter in his profile until April 20 2026 --33 days later. So even if he WANTED to "re-open" the file, he would have been too late, because the letter is dated 33 days before they sent it to him, and it only allows you to "re-open" the file 30 days after.

Anyways, I have never seen this before.

Ill never stop
