Political Asylum

The United States provides protection to those who have suffered persecution, or who fear future persecution, on account of race, religion, nationality, membership in a particular social group, or political opinion.

To apply, you file Form I-589 with supporting evidence, generally within one year of arrival to the United States. There is no government fee to apply for asylum. The average wait for a decision from the local asylum office is several months; cases referred to immigration court can take longer. We strongly recommend working with an experienced immigration attorney to prepare your application.

If your asylum application is approved, you are permitted to remain and work in the United States. You may petition to bring your spouse and unmarried children under the age of 21, and you may be eligible to apply for a Permanent Resident Card (green card) one year after your asylum approval.
