Asylum protects people who fear returning to their home country because of persecution based on race, religion, nationality, political opinion, or membership in a particular social group. It is one of the most challenging areas of immigration law, and it has become harder. Applicants now face an annual fee, longer waits for work permits, and stricter rules about rescheduling interviews and hearings.
In most cases, you must apply within one year of arriving in the United States, so timing matters. We help clients tell their story clearly, gather evidence about conditions in their home country, and prepare for the asylum interview or immigration court hearing. We follow new court decisions and policy changes closely, and we fight for our clients.
