The Form I-590 is the primary document
in all refugee case files and becomes part of the applicant's
A-file. It is the application form by which a person seeks refugee
classification and resettlement in the United States. It documents
an applicant's legal testimony (under oath) as to his or her
identity and claim to refugee status, as well as other pertinent
information including marital status, number of children, military
service, organizational memberships, and violations of law. In
addition to being the application form submitted by a person
seeking refugee classification, Form I-590 is used to document that
an applicant was interviewed by United States Citizenship and
Immigration Services (USCIS) and record the decision by the USCIS
Officer to approve or deny the applicant for classification as a
refugee. Regardless of age, each person included in the case must
have his or her own Form I-590. Refugees applying to CBP for
admission must have a stamped I-590 in their travel packet in order
to gain admission as a refugee. They do not have refugee status
until they are admitted by CBP.
