How long do I have to remain in the U.S. after getting asylum?

Once you have been granted asylum in Vermont, you must remain in the United States for at least one year. After that, you may apply for a green card or permanent residency. You must do this within one year of becoming a refugee. Once you have been granted a green card, you are allowed to remain in the United States indefinitely. Your refugee status is also automatically extended until the green card is issued. You must also report to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) every year to make sure that your refugee status is still valid. If your country of origin has changed or conditions have improved in your home country, then USCIS may end your refugee status or you may be forced to returned home. You may travel outside of the United States as long as you have an Advance Parole document and a valid passport. However, if you leave the United States for more than one year without an Advance Parole document, you will be considered to have abandoned your refugee status and you will not be able to return. It is important to familiarize yourself with all the requirements for applying for a green card and maintaining your refugee status in order to remain in the United States indefinitely. You should also research any potential travel restrictions or other requirements in order to ensure that you don’t put your refugee status in jeopardy.

En Vermont, los solicitantes de asilo tienen derecho a permanecer en los Estados Unidos después de recibir la aprobación del asilo. Sin embargo, esto también depende del estado. En Vermont, los solicitantes de asilo tienen un período de 1 año para permanecer en el país. Esto quiere decir que tendrás un año completo para establecerte en el país y comenzar tu nueva vida. Durante este tiempo, es importante que apliques para la tarjeta de residencia permanente. Esta tarjeta te otorga permiso de estadía permanente en los Estados Unidos. Después de obtenerla, serás libre de permanecer en el país tanto como quieras. Si deseas salir de los Estados Unidos, tu tarjeta de residencia permanente te permitirá volver sin problemas. Sin embargo, para mantener la residencia permanente, deberás cumplir con algunos requisitos. Estos incluyen presentar pruebas de ingreso legal, no ser deportado por violación de la ley, no abandonar el país por más de 6 meses seguidos y una vez al año renuevar tu tarjeta para demostrar que sigues cumpliendo con los requisitos. Un consejo importante es que, durante el período de 1 año, mantengas una buena conducta y trabajes para cumplir los requisitos necesarios para obtener la tarjeta de residencia permanente.
