Can I ask an asylum in New York airport?

Answered by attorney Alan Lee
Immigration lawyer at Alan Lee Arthur Lee, Attorneys at Law
Persons who have been persecuted or have a well-founded fear of persecution can ask for asylum upon entering the US at an airport in any status. You would of course have to be in an airport in the U.S.  I am not sure whether you can enter the U.S. in the way that you believe that you can.  But assuming that you make it to New York, whether an individual is able to stay in the US and eventually become a permanent resident depends upon the judgment of U.S.C.I.S. or an immigration judge (if asylum is not granted in the asylum office) or a higher appellate authority. Asylum claims must be based upon persecution or well-founded fear of persecution on account of race, religion, political opinion, nationality, or membership in a social group.Due to the limitations of the Lawyers.com Forums, Alan Lee, Esq.'s (the "Firm") participation in responding to questions posted herein does not constitute legal advice, nor legal representation of the person or entity posting a question.

If I apply for a K1 visa will my girlfriend be automatically denied entry to USA?

Most likely yes, however, in certain circumstances a waiver may cure the issue. Speak with and retain an immigration attorney. For a free consultation you may contact my office.

Can I file at the US Embassy for reentry permit for all of my family?

Answered by attorney Alan Lee
Immigration lawyer at Alan Lee Arthur Lee, Attorneys at Law
You appear to have lost your right to permanent residence by not having returned to the country since 2007. If you and your family attempt to reenter the States with your green cards, you will likely encounter problems with Customs and Border Protection once it understands that you have been out of the country for so long. A reentry permit can only be legally applied for while you are in the country. As you no longer have a right to come to the US with your green cards, your third child also has no right to enter. It appears that you would have to go through the immigration process all over again in order to come to the US as immigrants.Due to the limitations of the Lawyers.com Forums, Alan Lee, Esq.'s (the "Firm") participation in responding to questions posted herein does not constitute legal advice, nor legal representation of the person or entity posting a question.
