LawHelpMN has a fact sheet in English and
Spanish / Español that tells you what to do before going to an immigration court hearing and what to expect when you get to the courthouse. It does NOT help you fill out forms or apply for permission to work. It does NOT have information about asylum, different types of visas, or other programs. LawHelpMN’s self-help library has other fact sheets on those topics if you need them.
This government website has information and resources about what will happen when you go to court and what you can do to prepare your immigration case.
Respondent Access Portal lets you see information about your immigration case. You can also file documents online instead of having to do it at court. Download instructions on how to register below.
Innovation Law Lab worked with amazing interpreters, translators, videographers, and attorneys to create a series of instructional videos in English, Spanish, and other languages. The videos cover key parts of the U.S. asylum process but are not a substitute for legal advice from an immigration lawyer on your individual case.
See the self-help FAQs page for links to the videos on YouTube.
The Asylum Seeker Advocacy Project has created a video in Spanish that gives an overview of the I-589 application.
Information on the I-589, Application for Asylum and for Withholding of Removal, including the USCIS Filing Instructions Tool, can be found on USCIS's website in English and in Spanish. These webpages also include the latest official I-589 form.
The unofficial Spanish language translations below use an older version of the I-589 form from 2019. The asylum application must be completed in English. Use this Spanish translation only as a worksheet.
The U.S. government will not accept this form in Spanish. Get help translating your answers. Complete the official Form I-589 to file with the U.S. government.
