Work Permits, Asylum, & Filing Fees With Jackie Mann
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.
