Legal Question in Immigration Law in Texas

First of all, you need to prove your case to an Asylum Officer or an Immigration Judge and get a grant of asylum. It's not an easy task, and only approxinately 30% of all applicants are approved.

If your asylum application is pending for over 180 days (excluding certain interruptions), you can get a Work Permit. You can apply for a work permit after 150 days.

When you have been granted an asylee status (if granted), you have to wait 1 year to apply for a Green Card.

I hope you have a lawyer assisting you with your asylum application, and they can answer your case-specific questions.
