The asylum clock calculates a mandatory 180-day waiting period before an asylum applicant can receive work authorization. This webinar will discuss the legal underpinnings of the "clock," current policies and procedures around calculating the 180 days that will affect your client's eligibility for employment authorization. This webinar will provide updates to EOIR's policy for cases in Immigration Court and current litigation regarding this policy.
