You are welcome here.
ASAP is the largest organization of asylum seekers in the United States. Members receive time-sensitive immigration updates and work together for change.
If you applied for asylum with USCIS, you must show an “exceptional” reason to reschedule within 10 days of the scheduled biometrics appointment or asylum interview.
This page was recently updated to include information for asylum seekers about TPS, immigration limits for 40 countries, and travel to the U.S.
A court has allowed USCIS to review some past immigration approvals for immigrants from 40 countries who arrived in the U.S. on or after January 20, 2021.
TPS is ending for many countries. Read updates for all TPS countries.
Some people were surprised to learn that their annual asylum fee payment period had expired at USCIS. If this happened to you, you may now be able to pay!
ICE has been detaining more immigrants at airports across the country, including people who have pending applications, valid work permits, or whose immigration status is expiring soon.
If you win asylum, it may be possible to bring your spouse or child to the United States. Before, people from 40 countries could not do this, but a judge disagreed.
