Whether you are seeking asylum for yourself or supporting a loved one, we will guide you through the asylum process with compassion, seriousness, and clarity.

Asylum is not just an application. It is a request for protection—a legal claim that returning to your home country is not safe. We understand how heavy that is, and we treat it with the respect it deserves.

Asylum: Protection When Returning Home Is Not Safe

Protection from being returned to a country where you face harm

  • The ability to live and work lawfully in the United States

  • A path to a green card and eventually citizenship

  • In some cases, the ability to petition for certain family members

But asylum also requires careful preparation. Your story, your evidence, and your past statements matter.

Why Asylum Matters

To qualify for asylum, you generally must show:

  • You fear harm in your home country, and

  • That harm is connected to one of these protected grounds:

    • Race

    • Religion

    • Nationality

    • Political opinion

    • Membership in a particular social group

Note: There are deadlines and rules, including a general one-year filing deadline. We assess whether exceptions apply.

Who Qualifies for Asylum?

Two Ways to Apply

1. Affirmative Asylum (through USCIS):

  • Eligibility screening

  • Form I-589 filing

  • Biometrics

  • Asylum interview

  • Decision (approval, denial, or referral to court)

2. Defensive Asylum (in Immigration Court):

  • Strategy & review

  • Form I-589 (if not already filed)

  • Court hearings

  • Evidence and witness preparation

  • Final hearing and judge's decision
