For how long must an asylee be physically present in the U.S. to be eligible for adjustment of status?

Six months
One year
Two years
Three years

The correct answer is: One year

An asylee must be physically present in the United States for one year to be eligible for adjustment of status. This requirement emphasizes the importance of the asylum process as a means of protection and stability for individuals fleeing persecution. After being granted asylum, the individual can begin the process of applying for lawful permanent residency (Green Card) after meeting the one-year residency requirement. This timeframe allows the asylee to establish themselves in the community and demonstrates their commitment to remaining in the U.S. on a long-term basis. Understanding this one-year requirement is crucial, as it sets clear expectations for asylees who wish to transition from their asylum status to that of a permanent resident, and underscores the significance of stability and continued presence in the U.S.
