Asylum with Court or USCIS
Avoid Deportation with Asylum
You must apply for asylum wihtin one year of your last arrival in the United States, unless you can show that there was a change in your circumstances that significantly affect your eligibility for asylum or that there are extraordinary circumstances that are directly related to your failure to file your asylum application within the year.
An immigration judge will have to examine your case before they can order a deportation. Likewise a removal order cannot be issued before an officer determines your case and completes an interview with you and your family. It is important that you apply for asylum before the year and in the correct forum.
Asylum For Minors
Those who entered the United States under the age of 18 and unaccompanied can apply for asylum in two ways. They must apply in the same way as an adult, but they must apply directly with the USCIS asylum office closest to their home address.
Minors under the age of 18 can ask to have a separate case from their parents. To be considered an unaccompanied minor, the minor must not have parents or legal guardians in the United States or at the time they entered the country.
