User Question: Hello, I have a pending asylum case, and I already received my EAD and SSN. Will ICE deport me?

Expert Answer: Having a pending asylum case means you have legal protection from deportation while your case is being processed. As long as your asylum application is still pending and you comply with all immigration laws (such as attending court hearings and responding to USCIS requests), ICE should not deport you. However, if your asylum case is denied at all levels, you could become subject to removal proceedings. If you have concerns about your case, it is always best to consult with an immigration attorney.
