Any questions about making an asylum application as a foreign national with protected status as a member of a persecuted group should be explored with a qualified immigration attorney. A consultation with an experienced attorney who is a Board Certified Immigration Specialist can determine whether an asylum application might successfully block the deportation of yourself or a family member.

ASYLUM IN THE U. S.
The Refugee Act of 1980 established procedures for those foreign nationals physically present in the U.S. seeking asylum. Asylum applications may be submitted affirmatively to an asylum office within one year after the person’s entry in the U.S. This one-year time limit can only be overcome by a showing of changed circumstances that materially affect the person’s eligibility or extraordinary circumstances regarding the delay in filing the application. Additionally, an applicant may pursue his/her request for asylum before an immigration judge.
Our law firm asylum lawyers are knowledgeable and can assist you in preparing you case with the appropriate documentation and factual evidence that can help increase your chance of success in asylum and related cases.
