What is the difference between affirmative and defensive asylum?
Affirmative asylum is filed with USCIS when the applicant is not in removal proceedings. Defensive asylum is filed in immigration court as a defense against deportation.
Can I work while my asylum case is pending?
In many cases, asylum applicants may apply for work authorization after their asylum application has been pending for a certain period of time.
What happens if my asylum case is denied?
Depending on the circumstances, appeals or additional forms of relief may still be available.
