Question for the Community – Derivative Asylum for My Two Children
Question for the Community – Derivative Asylum for My Two Children
Hello everyone,
I would appreciate some guidance from anyone who has experienced a similar situation or has knowledge of this process.
My asylum was approved in 2024, and I am currently in the United States. I have two children who were included in my asylum case, but they are currently still in my home country, the same country I had to flee because of persecution.
My question is: Can I still file for derivative asylum (Form I-730) for my two children even though they are currently living in the country I fled due to persecution?
Has anyone successfully filed Form I-730 for their children under similar circumstances?
I would appreciate hearing about your experiences, any challenges you encountered, and advice on the process.
Thank you in advance for your help.

me and my brother came here on i730 in 2024 and your r supposed to file it within 2 years of grant I think you passed 2 year mark why you didn’t apply for them then… it’s faster than i130 free and gives them asylee status

I was approved also in October 2024 and one month later I filed I 730 for my wife and children living in my home country. They got their I 730 approved last month now they are waiting for the final interview at the Embassy. If you don't pass the 2 years you can still fill for them

@Nick A how long did the process last for them to get approved?

@Fuad Mansaray it takes 2 years but I'm from one the 39 banned countries, everything was freezing for some times.

@Nick A before the I-730 approval did you do some follow up or just wait for approval?
Nick A1d
@noor milan Nothing more, I only received letters from USCIS at each step
