USCIS is currently experiencing delays in issuing receipts for\u00a0Form I-589, Application for Asylum and for Withholding of Removal<\/a>. Due to these delays, you may not receive a receipt notice in a timely manner after you properly file your Form I-589. For purposes of the asylum one-year filing deadline,\u00a0affirmative asylum interview scheduling<\/a>\u00a0priorities, and Employment Authorization Document eligibility based on a pending asylum application, your filing date will still be the date that we\u00a0received<\/strong>\u00a0your properly filed Form I-589 (not the date we processed it). If you did not properly file your application, we will reject it and note any deficiencies in your filing. If you do not receive your receipt notice in a timely manner, please do not submit multiple Forms I-589, as this may further delay your case.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Please note: Do not submit any Forms I-589 to the Vermont Service Center (VSC).<\/strong>\u00a0The VSC is not currently processing Form I-589 and submitting your Form I-589 to the VSC will result in additional delays.<\/p>

We continue to experience receipt issuance delays in other workloads across some service centers.
