Asylum

Our law firm provides comprehensive legal services for individuals seeking asylum in the United States. We understand the fear and uncertainty faced by those fleeing persecution, and we are dedicated to providing compassionate and effective legal representation to protect their rights and help them build a new life. Our asylum services include:

Initial Consultation and Case Evaluation:

We offer confidential initial consultations to assess the merits of your asylum claim. We'll carefully listen to your story, review the details of the persecution you've experienced or fear, and evaluate your eligibility for asylum under U.S. law. We will explain the legal requirements for asylum, the evidence needed to support your claim, and answer all your questions.

Preparation of the Asylum Application:

We assist you in preparing and filing your Form I-589 (Application for Asylum and Withholding of Removal). This includes:

• Gathering Evidence: We work with you to gather all necessary evidence to support your claim, such as personal testimonies, country condition reports, medical records, and any other documentation that corroborates your experiences. We can also assist in obtaining expert witness testimony, if needed.
• Drafting the Narrative: We help you articulate your story in a clear and compelling narrative that meets the legal requirements for asylum. This includes detailing the specific acts of persecution you suffered or fear, the reasons for that persecution (race, religion, nationality, political opinion, or membership in a particular social group), and why you cannot or are unwilling to return to your home country.
• Completing the Application: We ensure that your asylum application is complete, accurate, and properly filed with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS).

Representation at USCIS Interviews:

We represent you at your asylum interview with a USCIS asylum officer. We will prepare you for the interview, explain the process, and accompany you to provide legal support and ensure your rights are protected.

Representation in Immigration Court:

If your asylum application is referred to Immigration Court, we will vigorously represent you in your removal proceedings. This includes:

• Filing Motions and Pleadings: We will file all necessary motions and pleadings with the Immigration Court on your behalf.
• Presenting Evidence: We will present your evidence and testimony in a persuasive manner to demonstrate your eligibility for asylum.
• Cross-Examining Witnesses: We will cross-examine government witnesses to challenge their credibility and highlight any inconsistencies in their testimony.
• Legal Arguments: We will make strong legal arguments on your behalf, citing relevant laws and case precedent.

Appeals:

If your asylum claim is denied by the Immigration Court, we can assist you with filing an appeal with the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA).

Other Related Services:

• Withholding of Removal: We can also assist you with applying for withholding of removal, which offers similar protections to asylum but has different requirements.
• Convention Against Torture (CAT) Claims: We can represent you in claims under the Convention Against Torture, which protects individuals from being removed to countries where they face a risk of torture.
• Work Authorization: We can help you obtain work authorization while your asylum application is pending.
• Adjustment of Status: If you are granted asylum, we can assist you with applying for adjustment of status to become a lawful permanent resident.

We understand the sensitive nature of asylum cases and are committed to providing our clients with personalized attention, compassionate support, and zealous advocacy.
