You can apply for asylum

You may be able to qualify for asylum or temporary protected status

You may qualify to apply for asylum if returning to Iraq would put you at risk. It’s best to act quickly since asylum applications usually have a one-year filing deadline.

If you fear persecution or danger in Iraq, asylum or Temporary Protected Status (TPS) might be options. Both require proving specific conditions and submitting proper evidence. Consulting an immigration attorney will help you understand which category fits your case.

Don’t wait until your visa expires. The earlier you file for protection, the stronger your chances of remaining legally in the U.S.
