The United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has announced new provisions regarding political asylum cases.
These new procedures refer, primarily, to petitions filed by people whose removal proceedings have been denied or revoked, cases that go to the Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR).
Starting today, you should know that the procedure is changing. If your case is denied or canceled by EOIR, you must file a current copy of Form I-589, Application for Asylum and Withholding of Removal, with the secure USCIS website.
Please note that in this case you will have jurisdiction over your residence.
If your asylum application is pending when EOIR denies or cancels your removal proceedings, USCIS recommends adding any additional or updated information related to your application to your application.
In this sense, evidence must be provided to justify the denial of the EOIR or the cancellation of the removal proceedings, such as a copy of the dismissal or cancellation order.
You must also add that you had a Form I-589 pending with EOIR, when your case was dismissed or dismissed.
If documentation is sufficient, USCIS will issue a Notice of Receipt on the original filing date of your Form I-589. However, the action will only be effective if you file it before the date the EOIR denies or cancels your removal action.
In fact, this same date is the date USCIS will use as the application deadline.
