Legal Question in Immigration Law in New York

my dad got political asylum status when I still was in Georgia (COP) and came here year ago, soon I'm going to apply for Green Card and hope to visit my country back, but my dad keeps saying that I can't leave the states until I get US citizenship , as I guess I've a AS8 . Can I leave the states and visit my COP after getting the Green Card??

Thanks Beforehand )))

I'm not a minor child, I'm 21 years old and want the answer of my question, thanks again

There is always a danger of losing an asylee status or permanent residency when a person who claimed persecution in his home country and thus obtained asylum status/green card, then travels back to his home country.

If you need a case-specific advice, you shall consult an experienced immigration attorney in private and off of the public forum.
