Pending Asylum and H1b

More information is needed. You stated you have a pending asylum application but what is your current visa status?

We need more information to answer this question. I will recommend not doing anything until you talk to a good lawyer before you do something. Good Luck Shah Peerally Founder and Managing Attorney of Shah Peerally Law Group PC The Law Firm Deals in Immigration law & Debt Relief Note: The above answer is provided for informational use only. One should not act or refrain to act solely based on the information provided. No attorney client relationship is created unless a retainer is signed by the attorney and the client.

Foreign nationals approved for H1 B visas must apply at a consulate or embassy abroad unless they have current status in the United States. However, when foreign nationals have been without status for over a year and they then depart the United States, they trigger a ten-year bar during which time they cannot return to the Unites States. Likewise, foreign nationals who have been in the Unites States for over six months without authorized presence and then depart are barred from returning for three years. Whether you are personally accruing unlawful presence is a legal matter, which can be resolved by a professional after a consultation. Please call my office to schedule a consultation if you would like such legal advice, as opposed to general information. As you can see, whether you particularly should continue with the asylum application or should continue with your H1 B visa depends on many factors relating to your personal life.
