User Question: Can anyone explain the withdrawal process for asylum? My case went for a master hearing, and my student visa is still valid. Also, how long does it take to receive an EAD renewal/extension card for a pending asylum application?

Expert Answer: To withdraw your asylum application, you generally need to notify the immigration court or USCIS, depending on where your case is being processed. Since your case has already gone to a master hearing, you may need to file a motion to withdraw with the court, and the judge will decide whether to grant it. Be aware that withdrawing could have immigration consequences, so consulting an attorney is highly recommended.

For EAD renewal under a pending asylum case, USCIS processing times vary, but it typically takes 3 to 6 months. If your current EAD is still valid, you may be eligible for an automatic 540-day extension upon timely filing of your renewal application.
