Pending asylum and green card through marriage: be careful before withdrawing the application

The article warns about the risks of withdrawing a pending asylum application when seeking permanent residence through marriage to an American citizen. According to the USCIS NTA issuance policy published in February 2025, withdrawal of an asylum application is among the circumstances in which the agency may issue an NTA, initiating removal proceedings. The text highlights that the two processes — asylum and adjustment of status through marriage — can coexist, but have their own rules and different consequences depending on the manner of entry into the US, immigration history, and stage of each process. The guidance is that any decision to withdraw asylum should only be made after consultation with a licensed immigration attorney, as a pending application does not equate to legal immigration status and withdrawal may create unnecessary procedural risks.
