How To Discuss Asylum With Your Attorney

FacebookTweetPinPrintLinkedIn

Are you confused and worried about how you will bring up the right of asylum to an immigration lawyer?

If you seek asylum, you are from a country where you have undergone persecution or will face persecution if you return to that country. And seeking asylum is a reasonable choice for someone who has a credible fear of persecution.

If you are planning to discuss how you could seek asylum with your immigration lawyer, you need to understand better what asylum means, how it works, and if you are eligible for it.

The right of seeking Asylum

What is asylum?

Asylum is a form of legal protection for people fearing persecution in their country to remain in the US.

What is the difference between an asylum seeker and a refugee?

An asylum seeker is seeking international protection, but their claim for refugee status is yet to be determined. In contrast, a refugee is a person acknowledged by law for refugee status and is now under the refugee protection program.

Why do people seek asylum?

People seek asylum because they have a reasonable and credible fear of persecution in their country. That means that if they go back to that country, their life would be at stake.

Are you eligible for Asylum?

You are eligible for asylum if you have been persecuted before or have evidence to believe that you will undergo persecution if you return to that country because of the following:

  1. Race
  2. Religion
  3. Political opinion
  4. Nationality
  5. Membership in a particular social group

An immigration lawyer can help explain how this immigration application works and if you are eligible.

What are the benefits of seeking asylum?

If you have been granted asylum, you can have the same rights and assistance offered to any foreigner who is a legal resident. Therefore you have the right to:

  1. Freedom of thought, opinion, and expression
  2. Freedom of movement
  3. Freedom of religion
  4. Live and work in the US
  5. Apply for the family reunification program
  6. Apply for permanent residence and citizenship
  7. Education, medical care, economic, and social rights

What is the process for gaining asylum?

The process starts with the preparation and submittal of an asylum application. It should be done within a year of entering the US.

The application will then be submitted to the US Citizenship and Immigration Services.

You’ll then appeal before an immigration judge, where an immigration lawyer will represent you and hopefully get your application for asylum approved.

What to expect when you contact an attorney for asylum

An immigration lawyer can help you apply properly and fast-track your application. They will also represent you when you need to appeal your case before a judge.

And they can help you fulfill your asylum requirements and give you the best chance of being granted refugee status in the US.

They are sure to help you with your best interest in mind.
