FROM AN ASYLEE TO A LAWFUL PERMANENT RESIDENT


Several persons fleeing persecution or possible harm in their home country often seek asylum in the United States (US) with the help of an asylum attorney. The asylum status affords these asylees protection in the US while permitting them to live and work in the US. However, the asylee might lose the asylum status and be requested to live in the US where the conditions in the asylee’s home country change or the asylee can no longer be classified as an asylee due to changed circumstances.

One of the most interesting aspects of the asylum status is that with the help of an asylum attorney in Jamaica, an asylee can become a lawful permanent resident in the US. In that case, the asylee will move from just being protected in the US to having the right to permanently live and work in the US.


Who is Eligible?
It should not be assumed that all asylees are eligible to change status to become lawful permanent residents, as there are clear pre-conditions which qualify an asylee for this change in status. These pre-conditions are:
1. The asylee must have obtained asylum status and be physically resident in the US for at least one (1) year before applying for the change in status;
2. The asylee must continue to be a refugee or the spouse or child of a refugee as described by the law;
3. The asylee must be physically resident in the US at the time of applying for the change in status;
4. The asylee’s asylum status must still be valid;
5. The asylee has not firmly resettled abroad outside the US;
6. The asylee is admissible for lawful permanent resident in the US or a waiver (where inadmissible) – the reasons for possible inadmissibility are set out in INA 212(a) as grounds of inadmissibility – an asylum attorney in Jamaica can clarify your admissibility or otherwise; and
7. The asylee establishes that he deserves a favourable exercise of discretion.
Those applying for a change of status to a lawful permanent resident as an asylee are not subject to the restraining factors that bar applicants from adjustment of status to a lawful permanent resident such as breach of immigration laws in entering the US.

The spouse and children of asylees are also eligible to apply for the adjustment of status if they meet the above-mentioned pre-conditions. If you are unsure if you, your spouse and children are eligible for adjustment of status from asylees to lawful permanent residents contact an asylum attorney in Jamaica.

The Application Process
After assessing your eligibility requirements in line with your condition and making the determination that you are eligible to apply for the change in status from asylee to lawful permanent resident, the next major hurdle is how to successfully navigate through the application process.

The application for the adjustment of status for asylees to lawful permanent resident is commenced by first obtaining Form I-485 (Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status) and carefully reading through the instructions contained therein before going ahead to properly complete and file the Form I-485 with the USCIS.
Not many asylees have the patience to read the instructions in the form, and some read but simply don’t understand the instruction. This often leads to avoidable errors that may delay the application process or an outright denial of the application to adjust status as an asylee to a lawful permanent resident. This is another potent reason why it is recommended that you go through the application process with the help of an asylum attorney in Jamaica.

It is important to note that the application must be supported with relevant documents such as a copy of the asylum approval notice, proof of the asylee’s identity, a copy of any page of the asylee’s passport of any travels made outside the US, and all other relevant documents which corroborates the information contained in the duly completed Form I-485 and establishes that the asylee meets the pre-conditions for the change of status stated above.

The USCIS may also request specific documents depending on the circumstance of the application. For example, the asylee might be asked to also file Form I-765 (Application for Employment Authorization), where the asylee also requires a work permit, or Form I-693 (Report of Medical Examination and Vaccination Record).
