A free tool built to help asylum seekers in the United States understand and calculate their work authorization timeline.

AsyClock was created with a single goal: to make the complex asylum EAD eligibility process understandable and accessible to everyone — regardless of their legal expertise or English proficiency.
The 150-day and 180-day rules governing asylum work authorization are poorly understood by many applicants, often leading to filing errors that cost time, money, and opportunity. Asylum seekers also face challenges with clock stoppages that can unexpectedly delay their eligibility dates.
AsyClock provides a free, private, no-signup calculator that translates complex USCIS rules into clear, personalized timelines — helping asylum seekers avoid costly mistakes and file at the right time.
The AsyClock calculator helps asylum seekers determine two critical dates:
Both dates are calculated from your I-589 receipt date and adjusted for any asylum clock stoppages recorded in the USCIS CSOL system.
Calculates the exact date you can file Form I-765, accounting for all CSOL stoppages and custom pause days.
Determines when you become eligible to receive your EAD card, with a clear visual timeline.
Supports 8 common stoppage types plus a custom field for CSOL-specific data from your official record.
Guides, FAQs, and immigration news to help you understand the full asylum EAD process.
