Here are some frequently asked questions (FAQs) regarding the development of an asylum claim and the preparation of applications for submission to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) or the Immigration Court:

1. What is the difference between affirmative and defensive asylum applications?

  • Affirmative Asylum: This is when you proactively apply for asylum with USCIS. You must be physically present in the U.S. and not currently in removal proceedings. If USCIS does not grant your application and you lack legal status, your case will be referred to the Immigration Court.

  • Defensive Asylum: This applies when you request asylum as a defense against removal after being placed in removal proceedings. You submit your application to the Immigration Court during these proceedings.

2. What form is used to apply for asylum, and where can I find it?

To apply for asylum, you need to file Form I-589, Application for Asylum and for Withholding of Removal. This form is available on the USCIS website.

3. Is there a deadline for filing an asylum application?

Yes, you must file Form I-589 within one year of your last arrival in the United States. Exceptions exist for changed or extraordinary circumstances.

4. What information and documents are required for the asylum application?

The application requires detailed personal information, including:

  • Personal identification details

  • A detailed account of past persecution or fear of future persecution based on race, religion, nationality, political opinion, or membership in a particular social group

  • Supporting evidence such as personal statements, affidavits, medical records, police reports, or country condition reports

5. Can I include family members in my asylum application?

Yes, you can include your spouse and unmarried children under 21 who are physically present in the U.S. as dependents on your application.

6. What happens after I submit my asylum application?

  • Defensive Asylum: Your case will be heard in the Immigration Court, where you will present your claim before an immigration judge.

7. Do I need an attorney to apply for asylum?
