What is the “reasonable opportunity period”?
The “reasonable opportunity period” is a term used in immigration law to refer to the length of time an individual has to apply for Asylum in the United States. In North Dakota, the reasonable opportunity period begins on the date the individual enters the U.S. or the date of the “reasonable fear determination”, whichever is later. In practical terms, the reasonable opportunity period provides an individual who has a fear of persecution in their home country with an additional window of time to apply for Asylum before they are considered for deportation. The reasonable opportunity period applies to those arriving in the U.S. both through a port of entry and who are already in the country. Those who have been found to have a credible fear of persecution by a U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) officer are given a reasonable opportunity period of one year from the date of the determination. Within this one year, the individual must submit an application for Asylum with USCIS. Applications submitted after this one-year period are usually not approved. The reasonable opportunity period is an important consideration under U.S. Immigration Law, as it gives those who have a fear of persecution in their home countries an additional chance to seek Asylum in the U.S. For those seeking Asylum in North Dakota, it is important to understand the reasonable opportunity period and take full advantage of it in order to build a successful case.
