Claims for asylum or refugee status are initiated and finalized through the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Bureau of Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS ). 

The US Embassy in Jakarta is generally only involved in completing the processing of spouses or children of individuals who have claimed asylum or refugee status in the US .  It does not accept applications for asylum in foreign countries.

Information on resettlement to the US as a Refugee can be found on the USCIS website.
