Hello! This video is very helpful, it clarifies every thing on where to file my asylum application. My question is as follow: how many days does it take to receive the receipt notice from uscis after the asylum application is delivered to them?
Thank you for your question and for being part of ASAP’s community! - If you qualify to file your asylum application with USCIS, you should get a receipt notice from them approximately 2-4 weeks after their receive your Form I-589. The receipt notice may look like this example: help.asylumadvocacy.org/uscis-asylum-application-receipt-notice/ - But if you have a case in immigration court, then instead you must file the Form I-589 with the immigration court that has your case. In that situation, you will not get a receipt from USCIS until you take an additional step later, to request fingerprints or "biometrics".

Hello! Thanks for the video. 1) I submitted my application to the immigration court, and I sent the 1st 3 pages of the asylum application to USCIS Nebraska, USCIS sent me a receipt acknowledgement to let me know they receive the asylum on May 3, 2024. But I still have not received the notice for the biometry. I am wondering if it is because I got my biometric done for an EAD card on February 27, 2024 that they do not sent the biometry notice for me? 2) I sent only one copy of my asylum application to the Immigration court, but recently I was told I was supposed to send 2 copies of my asylum application to the immigration court instead of 1 copy, can you please clarify these 2 questions for me?
Thank you for your question and for being part of ASAP’s community! It is common for there to be a delay between the receipt and biometrics. If you already had a biometrics appointment, USCIS may not require you to go to another one. We recommend sending 2 copies of your asylum application, but it is okay to send just one copy to the Immigration Court. The second copy is for the immigration court to stamp and return to you for your records so that you have proof of submitting your asylum application. In addition, you also need to submit a copy to the DHS attorney.

Hello, I would like to ask how to feel I 589 ? If we have 2 year old kid, me my wife and our kid , we are both in usa , we need to feel I 589, will be multiple for all of us ? Thank you
Thank you for your question and for being part of ASAP’s community! You have two options. (1) You can file a single application for one of you as the parents, and include your spouse and child. OR (2) You can each file separate applications. Generally, it is better to file separate applications for each person, because there are some types of protection from deportation called Withholding of Removal and Protection under the Convention against Torture that an Immigration Judge can only grant if each person filed their own application. You can find more information about your options to include your spouse and child on your asylum application here: help.asylumadvocacy.org/faqs-asylum-application/#family.

Do I have to submit copy of my passport all pages (cover to cover) with the asylum application if i file it with immigration court? If yes do i have also to include a copy the passport pages with the copy of I-589 i will send to ICE? I have another question Can i use a COPY stamp to stamp the copies (the ICE copy and my copy) and ORIGINAL stamp to stamp the original?
Thank you for your questions and for being part of ASAP’s community! - It is generally not necessary to include a copy of all pages of your passport (cover to cover) with your asylum application if you file it with immigration court. Usually it is sufficient to copy the page with your name and photograph, and also any pages showing a stamp or visa from when you entered the United States or other countries. You may include a copy of all pages, but it is not usually required. - When you send a copy of your I-589 to ICE, you should also include a copy of anything else (such as passport pages) that you included with the I-589 you file with the immigration court. - We do not recommend stamping form I-589 as "Original" if you file it with immigration court. But if you wish, you can stamp the copy you send to ICE and the copy you keep for yourself with "Copy". But that is not required.

And I have my friend who filed the asylum with his family and send the 3 pages to the uscs. However, sent him the fingerprint but not for the hold family. Do you know why they don't send fingerprint for my family?
Thank you for your question and for being part of ASAP’s community! If a child is under 14 years of age, sometimes USCIS does not require fingerprints. However, if the family members are over 14 years old and they have not received fingerprint notices, it is possible that USCIS has made a mistake. They can try sending the documents to USCIS Nebraska Service Center again, and include a letter explaining that the family members are included in the asylum application and need fingerprint appointments.

Why to create bad opinion about notaries or document preparer persons. There are good people with plenty of knowledge that can fill out Asylum forms the correct way and charge cheaper or less than lawyers. Even the lawyer (plenty of them) make mistakes and have applications denied by judges or immigration and charge an outrageous fee for service. Why demonized others than can help? It is ok just make a warning without imply that anyone other than lawyers know to apply for asylum.
Thank you for your comment and for being part of the ASAP community! In the United States, only individuals who are licensed attorneys or employees of nonprofit organizations who have a special accreditation from the federal government can legally provide advice about immigration law or assist with choosing or preparing immigration forms. The reasons for this are that immigration law can be extremely complex, and mistakes made even by someone without proper training or certification can have serious consequences. However, you are correct that not all lawyers have equal skill, and there are some who overcharge their clients or do poor work. For this reason ASAP provides the following webpage to help people find legal assistance from nonprofit attorneys, and also a list of attorneys who have been recommended as skilled and fair by local nonprofit agencies: help.asylumadvocacy.org/find-help/ In addition, we recognize that not every person seeking asylum can find a skilled attorney to hire, so we also provide resources such as Frequently Asked Questions and videos to help people without an attorney to navigate complicated processes: help.asylumadvocacy.org/
Thank you for your question and for being part of ASAP’s community! No, you do not have to sign each page of the affidavit. You can just sign and date at the end.

Instead, the court stamps your asylum application when they received it. You can call your immigration court to find out how you can get a copy of your stamped asylum application.
