Work Permits, Asylum, & Filing Fees With Jackie Mann

Work Permits Through Asylum In U.S.

Jackie Mann returns to Lincoln-Goldfinch Law!

She is here to talk to Kate about the latest immigration updates.

What is going with work permits for asylum seekers? Kate explains the new regulations. The important date to keep in mind is August 25th, which is when everything shifts. Make sure you get your case in! Historically, for an asylum applicant, you can file for a work permit 150 days or 5 months after you file your asylum application. In this video, I’ll go over the difference between affirmative and defensive asylum applications. They are now extending it to almost a year’s wait before you can file. Anyone who filed for asylum before March 25 MUST file for a work permit BEFORE August 25th.

Video Time Stamps:

9:04 Asylum seekers who enter without inspection, waited a year for filing, or caused a delay

My project served the detained families seeking asylum. After my fellowship, I entered private immigration practice. My firm offers family-based immigration, such as green cards and naturalization, deportation defense, and humanitarian cases such as asylum, U Visa, and VAWA. Everyone at Lincoln-Goldfinch Law is bilingual, has a connection to our cause, and has demonstrated a history of activism for immigrants. To us, our work is not just a job.
