Legal Question in Immigration Law in Illinois

Law concerning refugee claimants

Is there a law that states that refugee claimants in the USA receive amnesty (green card) after living in the country for a specific amount of time with no result following the refugee claim? If yes, what is that period of time and where can this law be verified?
