The asylum process is a legal procedure that allows individuals who fear persecution in their home country to seek protection in the United States. Not everyone can qualify. An applicant must demonstrate that they face persecution based on race, religion, nationality, political opinion, or membership in a particular social group. T8 Immigration can help determine your options.

Application must be filed within one year of arriving in the U.S., and involves preparing detailed personal statements, gathering supporting evidence, and presenting testimony.

 

If asylum is granted, it provides the right to remain lawfully in the U.S., apply for work authorization, petition to bring certain family members, and eventually apply for permanent residency and citizenship.

 

This process is complex and highly fact-specific, having an experienced immigration attorney at your side is crucial for a positive outcome. Call T8 Immigration to discuss your options with attorney Jorge Rivera, we can help you make an informed decision.
