People in search of protection from persecution based on racial, religious, or political reasons often come to the United States. Such a person has to complete the I-589 Form and may be allowed to stay in the country if they are eligible for asylum. Here is the most essential information you will need to know before filing your application.
What Is Form I-589 Used for?
The document is used to apply for asylum in the USA as well as for suspension/removal/deportation. This refers to those people who are not U.S. citizens but are physically on the territory of the USA. The document must contain the reason why you want to apply for asylum.
Where to File Form I-589?
First, you need to fill out the document, put your signature, and the date on it. Once you’ve done that, you have to send the completed template to USCIS. The address depends on the following factors:
- Your place of residence;
- If you are in Immigration Court/litigation or not.
Note that in case even one field is left blank, the paper will not be accepted.
How Much Does the Blank Cost?
The application for refugee status is free of charge for everyone. Pay close attention and remember that the completed template has to be filed within a year of the person’s arrival to the USA.
