hi
I am going to arrive to the US as an international student holding F1 visa.
I am wanted in my country now *Syria* for not going to the Military service,Military Service in my country now means killing people and not anything more.
I was thinking about applying for political asylum once I arrive to the airport but it seems too stupid move so I think applying after arriving in 2 or 3 days is a better idea.
the problem is I am an F1 visa holder and if I stop going to school my visa will be terminated automatically and I will have to go back to Syria so is applying for political asylum will prevent me from going back to Syria even if I stop going to college??

how much the lawyer fees will be?? more than 5000 $??!!!
I will need to find a Job in order to live so will I be allowed to work after I send the asylum application?
what is the expected period till I get the decision ?? /Yes or No/.
in case my asylum was granted ,am I going to have any assistant from the government?



waiting for you answers because I really need them.

best;
 
hi

your case is not strong you need to provide evidence that you are targeted because of your nationality , religion , political opinion , race, or membership of a social group .

- lawyers would cost you around 5000 or less . you have an option of hiring a pro bono lawyer , fore free or reduced rate but you don't need a lawyer and you can do it yourself .

when it comes to asylum you need to provide details and events with evidence , you are not gonna get asylum but just saying you are avoiding military services

- you can apply for asylum within one year of entry, so dont rush things and apply in 2 or 3 days and don't apply at the airport enter the US and take your time and find a lawyer and gather evidence and documents .

- the decision might take a few weeks to months in some cases , it depends on your case the place you apply fro and background checks. but you are allowed to apply for a work permit after 160 days of applying until the decision is made or when you are granted asylum .


my advise is , register for (TPS) temporary protection for Syrians which reopened last week , this status gives you temp. recency and work permit in the US until Match 2015
 
just one more question please.
if I want to apply for TPS ,should I be in the US for at least 3 months before applying or I can apply once I arrive?
 
i am sorry after reading the requirements , people who arrived after June 17 are not eligible for the TPS
