USCIS is currently experiencing delays in issuing receipts for Form I-589, Application for Asylum and for Withholding of Removal. Due to these delays, you may not receive a receipt notice in a timely manner after you properly file your Form I-589.

U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) invites you to participate in a virtual stakeholder engagement on the processing of Form I-730, Refugee/Asylee Relative Petition, on Thursday, July 21, from 2-3 p.m. Eastern. The Form I-730 is used by certain principal refugees and asylees to request follow-to-join benefits for their qualifying spouse and/or unmarried children under 21 years of age.

Regional centers use this form to demonstrate continued eligibility for regional center designation.
