I was granted an asylee status. How can I bring my husband and child to the United States?
If you are an alien and granted an asylee status in the United States, you may apply for derivative asylee benefits for your spouse and/or unmarried children under 21 years of age, whether they are in or outside the United States, within two years of the date in which you were granted asylum status. The relationship between an asylee and his or her relative must have existed on the date an alien was granted asylum in the United States and must continue to exist when an asylee files Form I-730 (Refugee/Asylee Relative Petition) and when his or her child or spouse is admitted to the United States. Therefore, you should file a separate derivative asylum application for your husband and your child to the Nebraska Service Center within two years of the date of your asylum grant.
