If you are currently in refugee or asylee status, you may be able to help your relative obtain asylee or refugee status. You can start the process by filing a Form I-730, Refugee/Asylee Relative Petition. Filing instructions and forms are available on our Web site at www.uscis.gov. If you were admitted to the United States as a refugee or were granted asylum less than 2 years ago, you may file an I-730 for the following relatives： • Husband or wife; • Unmarried children who were under age 21 at the time you were admitted as a refugee or granted asylum in the United States. An I-730 petition must be filed within 2 years of being admitted as a refugee or being granted asylum. If it has been longer than 2 years since you were admitted as a refugee or were granted asylum, you may want to get legal advice to determine if there are any other immigration benefits available to your relative. After you file the I-730 petition, we will mail you a receipt so you know we received it for processing. If your petition is incomplete, we may have to reject it, or ask you for more evidence or information, which will delay processing. Please send all required information the first time to avoid delay. If your relative is in the United States, we may require him or her to appear for an interview with an immigration officer. We will notify you when we make a decision regarding your case. If we approve your petition, and your relative is in the United States, we will send you an approval notice, notifying you that your relative has been granted derivative refugee or asylee status and what steps to take next. If we approve your petition and your relative is outside the United States, we will send you an approval notice and forward your petition to the U.S. Embassy or consulate nearest your relative. The U.S. Embassy or consulate will notify your relative when and where to appear, inviting him or her to apply for travel authorization to enter the United States. The time it takes to process and approve your relative's petition depends on a number of factors. Once you file, we will send you a receipt. You can check and monitor current processing times on our Website. Also, if you marry after I become a refugee or asylee, you cannot file an I-730 for your husband or wife if the marriage occurred after you become a refugee or asylee. However, you may want to get legal advice to determine if there are any other immigration benefits available to your spouse. The law limits eligibility to the relatives listed in this guide shown above. If your relative was granted refugee or asylee status based on his or her relationship to you, the relative cannot file a Form I-730 for other family members.
