How does my immigration status affect my asylum application?
Your immigration status has a significant impact on your asylum application in New Hampshire. Those who have a valid immigration status, such as Legal Permanent Residents and those with Temporary Protected Status, are considered “Arriving Aliens” and can apply for asylum at a port of entry. However, those without a valid immigration status must submit an asylum application with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). If you have an order of exclusion or deportation, you may still be able to apply for asylum if you are within the United States. If you filed your asylum application after being excluded or deported, you have the option to ask an Immigration Judge to review your request for asylum relief. Regardless of your immigration status, USCIS will look at the merits of your asylum application, including how your persecution or fear of persecution have been based on race, membership in a particular social group, religion, nationality, or political opinion. Finally, if you are granted asylum, you must still follow the USCIS rules for maintaining your asylum status. Typically, you must apply for permanent residency within a year of your asylum grant, and you must reside in the U.S. in order to remain eligible for asylum. It is important to make sure you comply with all USCIS rules for asylum applicants in New Hampshire.
THELAW.TV ofrece respuestas en español a todas las preguntas sobre la ley de inmigración.La forma en que su estado migratorio afecta su solicitud de asilo depende de los programas de asilo disponibles en New Hampshire. Para estar elegible para el asilo en los Estados Unidos, una persona debe tener una necesidad protectora que califique, y que sea reconocida por la ley de asilo de los Estados Unidos. En New Hampshire, actualmente solo se ofrece asilo administrativo para ciertas personas. Estas personas deben existir en un estado migratorio específico al presentar su solicitud de asilo. Por ejemplo, el Departamento de Seguridad Nacional (DHS) y el Servicio de Ciudadanía e Inmigración de los Estados Unidos (USCIS) no procesarán las solicitudes de asilo de aquellos que estén en los Estados Unidos ilegalmente. DHS y USCIS también no procesarán las solicitudes de asilo de aquellos que ya sean titulares de una tarjeta de residencia u otros documentos de inmigración. Los solicitantes de asilo deben asegurarse de que su estado migratorio cumpla con los requisitos para solicitar asilo. Si una persona está en los Estados Unidos de manera ilegal, es probable que la persona no sea elegible para el asilo. Si una persona está legalmente en los Estados Unidos, debe confirmar que califica bajo los criterios establecidos por la ley de asilo para estar protegida bajo la ley de los Estados Unidos.
