GREEN CARD THROUGH REFUGEE OR ASYLEE STATUS

One year after being admitted into the United States, a refugee must apply for his or her Green Card. Asylees are not required to do so after one year, but it could benefit them to do so.

Not only can refugees apply for a green card one year after coming to the United States, they are actually required by law to do so. Asylees can apply for a green card one year after being granted asylum status and qualifying family members of an asylee can apply for his or her green card one year after entering the U.S. Asylees are not required by law to apply for a green card at any time, however, it could be beneficial to do so. Your asylum status and your right to stay in the U.S. permanently could change if conditions in your home country change or if a change in circumstances causes you to no longer qualify for asylum.

  • Your refugee admission has not been terminated

As an asylee, you can apply for your green card 1 year after being given asylum if:

  • You have been in the U.S. for a minimum of 1 year after being given asylum
  • You still satisfy the requirements for asylee status, or the spouse or child of an asylee

Igor Litvak is an outstanding lawyer in New York, and I am beyond impressed with his level of professionalism and expertise. I recently had the privilege of working with him on a complex legal matter, and his knowledge, dedication, and attention to detail were simply unparalleled. From our initial consultation to the resolution of my case, Mr. Litvak went above and beyond to ensure that I understood all aspects of the legal process and was always kept up to date on the status of my case. He provided sound advice, was always available to answer any questions, and took a personalized approach to my legal needs. Mr. Litvak is not only a brilliant attorney, but he is also an exceptional communicator and an empathetic advocate. He is a true professional who genuinely cares about his clients and their well-being, and I would highly recommend him to anyone in need of legal services. If you want an attorney who is not only knowledgeable, but also compassionate, diligent, and committed to achieving the best possible outcome for his clients, then look no further than Mr. Litvak. He is simply the best.
