Legal Question
Derivative Asylum - Relationship
I have a question, rather a statement that I'd like to clarify. It's from the instructions to Form I-730 (derivative asylum) and it reads as follows from page 1, section 1(a) ''Who May File Derivative Asylum?'':
''If you are a principle asylee;
The relationship between you and your relative must have existed on the date you were granted asylum in the United States and must continue to exist.''
So, for example: if the principle asylee married his/her spouse on that date (Jan 10th), according to the County Recorder's Office, and his/her asylum granted date was Jan 10th, too, then will that relationship qualify his/her spouse to apply for derivative asylum status in the U.S.?
Thank you!
