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 I-589 form.
The unofficial Spanish language translations below use an older version of the I-589 form from 2019. You can go to the I-589 page to access the latest version in English.
