Individuals who have been persecuted or have a well-founded fear of future persecution on account of their religion, ethnic group, political opinion, nationality or membership in a particular social group might be eligible for asylum from the United States. Asylum generally must be applied for within the first year of entry into the U.S.
If you are considering applying for asylum, please contact an immigration attorney as soon as possible to protect your rights. My firm offers a sliding scale fee without sacrificing quality representation. I can assist with the initial application, a brief that outlines why you need asylum, preparation for the interview, and accompany you to the interview. Additionally, I will look for other possible avenues that would allow you to remain in the US.
