Additional Instructions for Asylees and Refugees

The purpose of these additional instructions is to provide more specific information on each immigrant category. You must read the additional instructions that apply to your specific immigrant category as well as the previous main instructions for Form I-485. If your immigrant category is not discussed here, it is because there are no additional instructions for that category.

MANAGERS AND EXECUTIVES - I-485 with granted Asylum/Refugee Status additional instructions

If you were admitted as a refugee, you may be eligible to adjust status under INA section 209(a) once you have been physically present in the United States for one year after being admitted to the United States in refugee status and if your status has not been terminated.

Derivative Applicants

Refugee derivative applicants may file Form I-485 with the principal applicant or independently from the principal applicant.

Evidence of Financial Support

If you are filing Form I-485 as a refugee, you do not need to submit evidence of financial support.

Additional Evidence Requirements

As a refugee, you must submit evidence showing you meet certain requirements specific to this immigrant category. Therefore, in addition to the evidence listed in the What Evidence Must You Submit with Form I-485 section, principal and derivative applicants must also submit evidence of refugee status, such as a Form I-94 or a Refugee Travel Document (Form I-571).

If you are an asylee, you may be eligible to adjust status under INA section 209(b) if you have been physically present in the United States for one year after your grant of asylum, your status has not been terminated, and you still qualify as an asylee or the spouse or child of an asylee.

Derivative Applicants

Asylee derivative applicants may file Form I-485 with the principal applicant or independently from the principal applicant. However, asylee derivative applicants should submit proof of relationship to the principal applicant.

Evidence of Financial Support

If you are filing Form I-485 as an asylee, you do not need to submit evidence of financial support.

Additional Evidence Requirements

As an asylee, you must submit evidence showing you meet certain requirements specific to this immigrant category. Therefore, in addition to the evidence listed in the What Evidence Must You Submit with Form I-485 section, principal and derivative applicants must also submit evidence of asylum status (such as a copy of the asylum approval notice from USCIS or the immigration court order granting you asylum).

PREGUNTAS FRECUENTES

She was perfect! It was such a luck to have Julia Greenberg referred to me by my acquaintance. She is the most caring and helpful attorney I have ever worked with. She is very professional and knowledgeable in the immigration law, and she gave me great advice! I appreciate most that she is always available by phone or returns missed calls shortly – this is something that many attorneys in NYC do not do or have their assistants do who never give the correct answer. I approached Julia to help me prepare for my citizenship interview since I had, frankly speaking, not an easy case, and she did the best job I could expect. I could not imagine how my interview would have gone without her; her support was significant! If I ever have a question about any immigration matter I would definitely ask Julia for help again. Awesome

Julia is very professional, competent and knows how to get the best deal for her clients. What we appreciated about her service was that she always answered our calls or got back to us in a very short amount of time. We had a very stressful issue with the officer but Julia was able resolve it and have our case successfully processed the same day. We could have not done it without her. She is a smart lawyer and a great negotiator with a wonderful personality. Hire Julia Greenberg if you want to get a real result!
