What is Asylum?

Asylum is the legal status granted by the United States to foreign citizens who meet the legal definition of a refugee. An asylee is protected from deportation. This legal status can be applied for mainly in two ways: affirmative asylum and defensive asylum. Obtaining asylum is a lengthy process with several stages of review and evaluation.

Asylum allows the person the possibility to work in any state in the country, to request that their spouse and children join them in the United States, and also to have the opportunity to apply for permanent residence after one year. Asylum can be denied even if the person meets the definition of a refugee; therefore, it is crucial to have the best attorneys. At Serving Immigrant, we have them at your disposal.

You Can Apply for Asylum if?

If you face any this type of Issue then you can apply for asylum and the following are the details

You can apply for asylum in the United States if you meet the definition of a refugee according to international law. To do so, you must comply with the definition of a refugee given by the United Nations Convention of 1951 and the 1967 Protocol, which was later incorporated by the United States Congress into the Refugee Act of 1980.

A refugee is a person who cannot or does not want to return to their country because they are being persecuted, have been persecuted, or have a well-founded fear of future persecution due to their creed, race, nationality, political ideology, or membership in a particular social group.

Asylum seekers must apply within one year of their arrival. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is obligated to inform applicants of the deadline for submitting their application. In many cases, asylum applications are rejected because the deadline has passed.
