Can we apply for permanent residency?

ABC registration expired in 1991. If your asylum is pending and you registered for ABC during the qualifying period and you are from one of the qualifying countries and meet other requirements, you may apply for NACARA.

You should get a copy of your file and make an appointment with an attorney. You cannot be part of the ABC settlement since 2004. Perhaps 1994. If the lead applicant entered before the end of 1990 and is in fact a ABC class member, NACARA can be the benefit. However, a determination of eligibility must be made.

Because you (and your family) are asylees, all of you may apply for a green card/permanent resident status one (1) year after being granted asylum if you have been physically present in the U.S. for at least 1 year after being granted asylum (which you have); continue to meet the definition of a asylee (or continue to be the spouse or child of such asylee); have not abandoned your asylee status; are not firmly resettled in any foreign country; and continue to be admissible to the U.S. (Note: waiver may be available if you are now inadmissible). Note that each case is fact specific and the answer may change depending on your particular circumstances.
