Here is a how-to guide courtesy of Stanford University on getting asylum. They must certainly have other copies printed in other 30 other languages. Lol.

“Meet Maria and Miguel. They are scared to return to their home country. Miguel and Maria’s stories are only examples. Your stories do not have to be the same as theirs to get protection. But their stories can help show you how to apply for asylum in the United States.
Maria is a young woman who is afraid to return to her home country because she was in a bad relationship with her husband there.
Her husband beat her and hurt her. Even though she reported her husband to the police in her home country, the police did not help her.
Miguel is a young man who is afraid to return to his home country because his family was threatened by gangs there. The gangs tried to recruit his older brother who refused to join them. The gang then threatened to kill Miguel and his entire family.”
So, they can get a work permit. After 150 days. Who pays for living expenses 150+ days.?
“You can apply for a work permit 150 days after the day that you turned in your asylum application to the Court.
To check how many days have passed since you turned in your asylum application, call 1-800-free-stuff. You will be asked to enter your A-number, which is a 9 digit ID number that you can find on your Notice to Appear or most other immigration documents. Select option “2” to find out how many days have passed.
If you call the phone number above and the number of days has not changed, it may be because the Court extended your waiting period.
* phone number changed to protect the guilty.
