Hello All,

 

I am asking on behalf of a friend who came to the US and filed asylum, which she got approved.

Is there a chance for such a person to bring her kids to join her in the US considering her current status? Can she apply for her kids to join her as she is under the Asylum category. It was a very difficult situation for her at her home country and she had to escape to safety while her kids are with trusted family members.

 

Any suggestions will help. TIA

I know someone who came to the US as an asylee and sponsored his kids. He had to wait till he became a permanent resident (I think it took a couple of years) then filed for his kids. It then took a few more years before the kids arrived. I'm guessing it varies by country and depends on whether there's US embassy there and/or sufficient acceptable documentation exists to prove kinship. Best to call USCIS or talk to a lawyer.

 

Good luck to your friend.

Yes. She have to apply i730 form for family visa for spouse and kids once Asylum is approved. It takes me less than a month to approved from USCIS.
