A: If your case in 150 days USCIS or court has not made a decision, you can apply for social security card. If you are a legal status, and some lazy immigrationofficers, even have not made a decision within 150 days. The court is more complicated. Explained as follows: 150 days the number of days not by natural day basis, but the clock according to your calculations.USCIS received your application for asylum in the day will enter your information into the computer, while giving you put a count calendar. You go to court on the first day the calendar may have been transferred for 60 days , if you did not appear in court that day with a lawyer or to add material , the judge may ask you to come back next year of today’s date . Due to your fault causing the 150-day cannot conduct of your case, so the judge will put out of your case from calendar. When you go to court next year, the number of days you are still from 60 days. Conversely, if the judge is busy, can not process trial of your case in 150-day, will call you again for next year,and the processing will not stop. Until the 150th days you can apply for the social security card. Courts sometimes will make error, butit will not affect your case。As an applicant , you should remind your lawyer , the judge ask themwhat is the progress。
