As former asylum officers, we have extensive experience in adjudicating asylum claims. With a deep knowledge of asylum procedures, we are well-equipped to guide clients through every aspect of their asylum case, from initial application to final adjudication.
What is Asylum?Asylum is a form of protection granted to individuals who have fled their home countries due to past persecution or a well-founded fear of future persecution based on race, religion, nationality, political opinion, or membership in a particular social group. It is a humanitarian relief designed to offer safety and refuge to those in genuine danger.
Application ProcessThe asylum application process is intricate and requires meticulous preparation:
- Applicants must file Form I-589, Application for Asylum and for Withholding of Removal, within one year of their arrival in the U.S. or demonstrate exceptional or changed circumstances for filing late.
- They must provide detailed testimony and supporting evidence to substantiate their claims of persecution.
- Applicants undergo an interview with an asylum officer or appear before an immigration judge to present their case.
Challenges and StrategiesNavigating the asylum process involves addressing numerous challenges:
- Overcoming credibility issues that may arise during interviews or hearings.
