Is there a time limit to apply for asylum?

Yes, there is a time limit for applying for asylum in New York. One must apply for asylum as soon as practicable after entry into the United States or in no longer than one year from the date of entry. Those who enter the United States and file their applications more than one year after entry will be barred from receiving asylum unless they can establish that there are “changed circumstances” which would affect their chances of being granted asylum. For applicants who have missed the one-year deadline for applying for asylum, submitting an application as soon as possible is essential. If the applicant waits too long after the one-year deadline, they could be permanently barred from applying for asylum. Even if they are not permanently barred, delays may make it more difficult to prove eligibility or have a successful outcome. Applicants must also be aware of the time limit for filing fees when applying for asylum. Generally, applicants must pay the required filing fee within 45 days of filing their application. If the fee is not paid within the 45-day period, the application may be denied for failure to pay. It is important to remember that the time limit to apply for asylum in New York is strictly enforced. Those who wish to apply should do so as soon as practicable and ensure all required fees are paid promptly after filing the application. Doing so may increase the chances of being granted asylum.

En Nueva York, hay un límite de tiempo para solicitar asilo. El plazo varía según los motivos por los que una persona solicita asilo. El plazo máximo para solicitar asilo después de llegar al país es de un año. Esto significa que una persona debe presentar una solicitud dentro de los primeros 365 días posteriores a su llegada. Es importante destacar que este límite temporal no se aplica a todas las personas que solicitan asilo. Si existen circunstancias excepcionales, los solicitantes pueden presentar una solicitud de asilo incluso después de los primeros 365 días tras su llegada. Estas circunstancias excepcionales incluyen un cambio dramático en la situación del solicitante, una falta de información adecuada y la intervención de un tercero, como un Estado responsable o una organización internacional. Sin embargo, estas excepciones son muy raras y se deben evaluar caso por caso. Por lo tanto, se recomienda que los solicitantes presenten su solicitud de asilo dentro del plazo de un año, ya que de lo contrario pueden enfrentar dificultades para demostrar que cumplen con los requisitos de asilo.
