Facing Persecution? You May Qualify for Asylum in the U.S.
If you or someone you love fears returning to your home country because of persecution or threats, you may be eligible for asylum in the United States. This legal protection allows individuals to remain in the U.S. when returning home would put their life or freedom at risk due to race, religion, nationality, political opinion, or membership in a particular social group. Applying for asylum can be complex—but you're not alone. We’re here to help you through every step.
Two Paths to Protection: Affirmative & Defensive Asylum
Affirmative Asylum
If you are already in the U.S. or arriving at a port of entry, you can proactively apply for asylum with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). The application process includes completing Form I-589 within one year of your last entry, unless special circumstances apply. You may also request work authorization while your case is pending. Because asylum applications are closely examined, your case must be clear, complete, and compelling. We help you build it with confidence.
Defensive Asylum
If you're already in removal proceedings, you may apply for asylum as a defense against deportation. This process happens in immigration court before a judge, who will evaluate your evidence and testimony. We’ll guide you through the hearing process, help you present your story effectively, and work to secure the protection you deserve.
