In this segment, immigration attorney Lorena Rivas answers a viewer’s question about having an active asylum case while also filing a residency (green‑card) application based on marriage to a U.S. citizen or permanent resident. She explains that marriage‑based adjustment of status is permissible even when an asylum case is pending, and that asylum cases are notoriously difficult to win. Consequently, she advises that, if she were the client’s lawyer, she would close the removal/deportation proceedings linked to the asylum claim and focus solely on the spouse‑based residency application, which generally offers a higher chance of success.
