TexasLawHelp.org
Public access point and self-help instructions for preparing Form I-589 to request asylum, withholding of removal, or Convention Against Torture protection.
How to get help
Confirm the current filing jurisdiction and USCIS or immigration-court instructions, download the current Form I-589 and edition-specific instructions, complete and sign the form, assemble the required identity and supporting evidence with certified English translations, file through the authorized channel, keep a full copy, and attend scheduled biometrics and interview or court events.
Who this service helps
A person physically present in the United States who may meet federal asylum or withholding requirements can review the materials; filing location and procedure differ for people in removal proceedings, and asylum generally has a one-year filing deadline subject to limited exceptions.
