USCIS has announced a new policy for asylum seekers who have undergone an interview and are waiting for a decision. If the waiting period exceeds 150 days, applicants can submit a request for work authorization under category (C08), provided the delay is not due to their own actions.
Key Details:
- Applicants must have completed their fingerprinting and interview with USCIS.
- The 150-day waiting period starts from the date of the interview.
- Requests for work authorization can be made under category (C08).
- Delays caused by the applicant will not qualify for this provision.
This update is significant for asylum seekers, as it provides them with the opportunity to work while awaiting a decision on their case. Need help with your immigration case? Visit QuickFiling.us for professional immigration services.
