Find Safety & Protection Through Asylum in the U.S.
If you or your loved ones are facing persecution in your home country, the U.S. asylum process provides a legal path to safety. Our firm has extensive experience helping individuals seek asylum and refugee status, ensuring they receive the legal protection they deserve.
Who Qualifies for Asylum?
You may be eligible for asylum if you face persecution in your home country due to:
Race
Nationality
Religion
Political opinion
Membership in a particular social group (e.g., LGBTQ+ individuals, journalists, human rights activists, victims of domestic violence)
Key Requirements:
You must apply for asylum within one year of arriving in the U.S. (Exceptions apply for changed circumstances.)
You must prove a credible fear of persecution if returned to your home country.
If you are already in deportation proceedings, you may still apply for defensive asylum before an immigration judge.
The Asylum Process
1. Filing Your Asylum Application (Form I-589)
Must be submitted within one year of arrival.
2. Biometrics & Background Checks
Fingerprints and security screenings.
3. Asylum Interview or Immigration Court Hearing
- If applying affirmatively through USCIS, you will have an asylum officer interview.
- If in removal proceedings, you will present your case before an immigration judge.
4. Decision on Asylum Status
USCIS or the judge determines if you qualify for protection
5. Work Authorization & Path to Permanent Residency
- After 150 days, asylees can apply for work authorization.
- After one year, you may apply for a green card (permanent residency).
