YouTube Description
as posted by the channelThe 1-year filing deadline is one of the biggest barriers for asylum seekers who have been in the United States for more than a year. But there are two categories of exceptions, and people do regularly qualify for them. đ One important exception falls under âextraordinary circumstances.â Within that category is something called maintenance of status, which means if you maintained lawful status the entire time you were in the U.S., you can get around the 1-year filing deadline. âď¸ This is key for students and others on long-term visas who need to file for asylum after being here more than a year. Itâs a tricky area of immigration law, so if this applies to you, definitely talk with an asylum lawyer first. đ
