What Are Your Options If You Have an Asylum Case in Court and Your Work Permit Was Denied?

Do you have a case pending before the immigration court and still have not been able to obtain your work permit?

Many people are unaware that, when an affirmative asylum case is referred to immigration court, it is important to re-file the written asylum application with the court so that the work permit "clock" continues to run.

In many cases, the time a person waited while their case was with USCIS can count toward the work permit. However, certain factors can stop that clock, such as requesting frequent continuances or appearing before the court without an attorney.

Every case is different, and this type of process must be carefully analyzed to avoid unnecessary delays in work permit eligibility.
