Continuous Presence For Cancellation Of Removal

Continuous Presence For Cancellation Of Removal
You probably have heard that if a person entered the country illegally, “nothing can help him” to obtain legal status in the United States even if she/he marries a US citizen.

US Asylum: Application And Process

How To File For Asylum Part IV

WHEN CAN I FILE FOR AN ASYLUM?
A person may file for asylum after he/she entered the United States and is still in the lawful status; when the status expired; when the person is an EWI (entered without inspection); when the person is subject to a 2 year residence requirement after the J-1 visa; when the person was previously ordered removed from the United States. A short answer is: a person may file any time, as many times as there are grounds for it (as long as the application is not frivolous). A person does not need to wait for his/her lawful status to expire to file for asylum.
