After a lengthy process, you have finally obtained your asylee status in the United States. This status provides you with protection that you were previously denied in your home country due to political or religious reasons, among other reasons. Now that you legally reside in the United States, have you considered becoming a permanent resident through your asylee status?
Fortunately, obtaining a green card and changing your status to become a permanent resident can be easily accomplished with the help of an immigration lawyer. If you have been living in the United States for at least one year after being granted asylum, you can file a green card application.
If you were the main applicant and your spouse or children also received a “derivative grant of asylum” through you, you can file for green cards for them as well. There is no need to wait for your own green card application to be approved. By applying for US permanent residency through your asylee status, you can simultaneously apply for green cards for your spouse and children if they have received derivative asylum through you.
It is important to note that you and your family can only adjust your status to an asylum green card if you have resided in the United States for at least one year after being granted asylum. Once you have successfully become a US permanent resident through your asylee status, you will be entitled to numerous benefits as a green card holder.
Furthermore, in the future, you may even have the opportunity to apply for immediate relatives living overseas. If you are an asylee who dreams of becoming a green card holder or require assistance obtaining your green card, Gehi and Associates are here to help.
