If I am granted asylum, can I apply for a green card?

Yes, if you are granted asylum in North Dakota, you can apply for a green card. To do this, you must first file Form I-485, Application to Adjust Status to Permanent Resident, with the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). When you apply for asylum, your immigration status automatically changes to asylee, which allows you to apply for a green card. You must provide proof that you are eligible for a green card and meet the requirements to adjust your status. The USCIS will then review your application and determine if you meet the requirements for a green card. If you are approved, you will receive an Employment Authorization Document (EAD) and a Permanent Resident Card (green card) to show that you have permanent residency in the United States. In order to qualify for a green card, you must show that you are eligible for asylum in the United States and you must not have any unresolved criminal charges or convictions. Additionally, you must demonstrate that you are not a threat to national security or public safety. Finally, you must be able to demonstrate that you are not likely to become a “public charge” of the U.S. government. Your asylum status is not a guarantee of eligibility for a green card; the USCIS will carefully review your application and make a determination as to whether you qualify for permanent residence in the United States. Therefore, if you would like to apply for a green card after being granted asylum in North Dakota, it is important that you speak to an immigration attorney to ensure that you have a solid understanding of the eligibility requirements and the process for submitting an application.

Sí, si usted es otorgado el asilo, puede aplicar para una tarjeta verde. Una vez que se le otorga asilo, usted es calificado para residir legalmente en los Estados Unidos. Esto se conoce como un "estatus de asilo". Si tiene estatus de asilo, puede presentar una solicitud para una tarjeta de residencia (tarjeta verde) para los Estados Unidos. Sin embargo, debe tener en cuenta que hay un límite de tiempo para presentar la solicitud de tarjeta verde. Una vez que se le otorga el asilo, tiene un plazo de un año para presentar su solicitud de tarjeta verde. Si no lo hace en ese plazo, debe volver a aplicar para asilo para renovar su estatus de asilo. Es importante recordar que una vez que se le otorga asilo, los Estados Unidos reconocen y protegen legalmente su estatus. Esto significa que no puede ser deportado y no debe estar preocupado por la posibilidad de ser deportado mientras tenga estatus de asilo. En el estado de Dakota del Norte, el Departamento de Seguridad Nacional y la Aduana y Protección Fronteriza (CBP) son responsables de todas las solicitudes de asilo. Puede presentar su solicitud directamente a la oficina de uno de estos departamentos cerca de su área.
