How Long Do I Have to Wait Before Filing a Green Card Application After Getting my Asylum Approval?

I finally got my asylum approval. How long do I have to wait before applying for a green card?

After getting your asylum approval, you are required to wait 1 year and one day in the U.S. before filing a green card application. This is also known as the 1 year 1 day rule. The 1 year starts from the approval date that can be found on your asylum approval receipt notice under the title “Notice Date”

In your green card application, you must have evidentiary documents, proving that you have physically remained in the U.S. for at least 1 year without leaving the country after getting your Asylum approval.
