Updates For People Applying For Asylum

The U.S. government has paused asylum decisions while reviewing security procedures

Best for:

The U.S. government has paused asylum decisions while reviewing security procedures.

Asylum decisions are paused. USCIS is not making decisions on any new or pending asylum applications.
This pause does not include immigration court cases. Defensive asylum cases in court continue.
You can still apply. Applications will still be accepted, but there will be no decision until the pause ends.
Talk to a lawyer before filing. An attorney can help you understand your risks and options.
