Can my application include my family? |
 |
You can include your spouse and any unmarried children under the age of 21 in your asylum application, if they are also physically in the United States. If you are including your spouse, include your marriage certificate and, if applicable, any proof of termination of prior marriages. Birth certificates must be included for any unmarried under 21- children. In the event you don’t have any of these documents, submit medical records, religious records, school records and an affidavit form someone to prove the event.
If you have asylum status, you may apply for derivative asylum benefits for your spouse or children. This means that your spouse or children may be granted asylum status based on your own asylum status.
