The Asylum Firm helps those seeking asylum navigate the complex legal system.

What is Asylum?

Asylum serves as a safeguard granting individuals the opportunity to stay in the United States rather than face deportation to a nation where they anticipate persecution or danger. Under U.S. legislation, individuals fleeing their homeland due to persecution concerns are eligible to seek asylum. Approval of asylum affords them protection and the privilege to reside in the United States.

Who qualifies for Asylum?

To be eligible for asylum, a person must:

  • Be in the United States
  • Demonstrate that he or she was persecuted or fears persecution in their home country based on:
    • Race
    • Religion
    • Nationality
    • Social group
    • Political opinion

What are examples of persons who may qualify for Asylum?
