How long after being granted asylum must an individual file a Form I-730 for family members?

One year
Two years
Five years
Immediately

The correct answer is: Two years

An individual granted asylum must file a Form I-730, Petition for Alien Relative, within two years from the date of their asylum approval in order to bring their qualifying family members to the United States. This two-year window is a crucial part of the asylum process, reflecting the U.S. government's intention to ensure that asylum seekers can reunite with their families but also establishing a time-sensitive framework for this reunification. Filing the petition within this timeframe is necessary for it to be considered valid, as any submissions made after the two years may not be accepted, limiting family reunification options for the individual.
