YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Anyone applying for asylum before turning 18 doesn’t have to worry about the one-year filing deadline. 📅 They’re protected by the extraordinary circumstances exception because being under 18 is considered a legal disability. This means you won’t lose asylum eligibility because of the one-year deadline if you file while you’re still under 18, no matter how long you’ve been in the country. Once you turn 18, timing becomes critical. ⚖️ If you file within a reasonable time after turning 18, you should be fine — but “reasonable” isn’t clearly defined anywhere. The asylum officer has discretion, which makes this a wildcard, so filing quickly after turning 18 is essential. You should speak with an asylum lawyer about this.
