The political asylum in the United States informed me to go to court in June this year 165438+ 10. What's the next procedure and how long will it take to get a green card?

(1) If the Real Identity Act says that there is a possible alternative to solving legal identity without quota restrictions, it is to apply for refugees or political asylum. Especially after the passage of the Real ID Act in May this year, the quota of 654.38+00000 political asylum approvers set by the Immigration Bureau was cancelled thanks to the mediation agreement reached between a class action lawsuit represented by an immigration lawyer in Pennsylvania and the Immigration Bureau. As long as your asylum application is approved, one year later, you can submit I-485 to apply for change of identity, and you will get a green card soon. Another quota for canceling political asylum is that the previous immigration law set an annual limit of only 65,438+0,000 for China immigrants to apply for political asylum for their only child. More than 6,000 immigrant families in China have benefited from this legislation and obtained green cards. However, the negative impact of the bill on asylum seekers far exceeds its positive significance. We will briefly explain the procedural elements of applying for political asylum, and then come back to discuss this issue.

(II) Procedures for Applying for Political Asylum The US immigration law first distinguishes between refugees and asylum. The so-called refugee, according to the interpretation of Article 1980 of the Refugee Law in the United States immigration law, refers to a person who is unable or unwilling to return to his country of origin because of his race, religious belief, nationality, participation in a specific social group or political views. American immigration law stipulates different application procedures for foreign refugee applicants and refugees arriving in the United States. The latter is called asylum.
