What happens if my application for asylum is accepted?
If your application for asylum is accepted in Vermont, you will be granted a green card which will allow you to stay and work in the United States. You will also be able to travel outside of the United States as long as you have valid travel documents. After one year, you may be eligible to apply for a green card for permanent residence in the United States. If your asylum application is accepted, you will be granted certain protections in the United States. You may be eligible for work authorization and may be able to access social services such as healthcare, education, and housing. You will be allowed to remain in the United States as long as you do not pose a danger to the United States or engage in any criminal activities. You will also be able to apply for asylum for any family members who may be in danger in their home country. This includes spouses, children, parents, and siblings. Your family members may be allowed to stay in the United States if they can demonstrate that they face similar dangers in their home country. You may also be eligible for a fee waiver for various services including the application fee for a green card, the application fee for naturalization, and some fees for certain social services. The fee waiver applies to all individuals who have been granted asylum in the United States.

Una vez que se le haya otorgado el estatus de refugiado, tendrá una serie de nuevos derechos y responsabilidades. Por ejemplo, tendrá derecho a trabajar, asistir a la escuela, recibir asistencia médica y obtener un permiso de residencia. Además, como refugiado, deberá seguir las leyes de los Estados Unidos y de Vermont, y también estar dispuesto a contribuir a la comunidad. También estará sujeto a la deportación si incumple una ley. Por lo general, a un refugiado se le otorga una tarjeta de identificación válida durante un año, que debe actualizarse anualmente para mantener el estatus de refugiado.

El proceso para obtener la residencia permanente generalmente toma de 1 a 5 años, pero ese tiempo puede variar dependiendo de la situación.
