You may apply for a waiver of the 2-year residency so you can adjust status without having to leave the country. You should seek a lawyer's advice to know if you qualify for a waiver.

Hello, I would like to ask is it possible for me to apply for asylum in USA if I have Poland's temporary residence card and citizenship of Ukraine?

Answered by attorney Alan Lee
Immigration lawyer at Alan Lee Arthur Lee, Attorneys at Law
Persons who have some type of legal status in a country other than the homeland of persecution would find it difficult to obtain asylum in the US. That is because no country wants to give an individual the choice of applying in that country when he or she could have applied in the first country. In your situation, you have a temporary residence card in Poland and unless circumstances exist such as your also having a fear of persecution in Poland, it is doubtful that you would have a successful case for asylum in this country. Other factors that could affect a decision could be whether Poland allows individuals to apply for political asylum and whether your status in Poland ended and you have no right to return to that country.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.
