Sample USCIS Asylum Application Receipt Notice

This document is a receipt notice from U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) that confirms that they received your asylum application (Form I-589). It shows your receipt number, which you can use to look up your application status on this USCIS website. The receipt notice also shows the date that USCIS received your application, which is listed as “Received Date.”

If you have submitted an asylum application to USCIS and have not received a receipt notice, learn what steps you can take.

Generally, you can apply for a work permit 150 days after the “Received Date.” Read more about the process of seeking asylum with USCIS.
