Facing the Challenges of the U.S. Asylum Application Process

Overcoming the Complexities of Securing Asylum in the U.S.

Furthermore, asylum seekers face strict deadlines for submitting their applications, interviews with asylum officers, and the pressure of proving their case in immigration court if necessary.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) – Asylum Cases

Your Asylum Questions Answered by Experts

What is asylum, and who qualifies?

Asylum is a form of protection granted to individuals who have fled persecution in their home countries due to race, religion, nationality, political opinion, or membership in a particular social group.

How do I apply for asylum?

You can apply for asylum at a U.S. border, after arriving in the U.S., or while in removal proceedings. We can guide you through the process, ensuring that your application is submitted correctly and on time.

What evidence do I need to support my asylum claim?

You’ll need to provide documentation that proves your credible fear of persecution, such as news articles, witness testimonies, or personal records. We help gather the necessary evidence to build a strong case.

Can I work while my asylum application is pending?

Yes, you may apply for work authorization 150 days after submitting your asylum application, provided it remains pending.

How long does the asylum process take?

Asylum cases can take several months to years, depending on factors like case complexity and immigration court backlogs. We help manage the process to avoid unnecessary delays.

What happens if my asylum claim is denied?

If your asylum claim is denied, we can appeal the decision or explore other legal options. We are here to fight for your case, even if it initially faces rejection.
