    Hell even if you did all the paperwork correctly, as an asylum seeker you would have a small window of 5 years where.

    • If you leave the US your process is cancelled.
    • If you don’t show up to the 3 random court calls in time your process is cancelled.
    • Court takes place in the USA.
    • You are not a legal citizen in the USA until you finish all the courts.

    Additionally.

    • You aren’t allowed to have a job until you pay a fee and wait 6-12 months for the EAD.
    • You still pay taxes and can’t vote.
