Asylum & Removal Defense

Each year, thousands of non-citizens arriving at our border or already in the United States apply for asylum, or protection from persecution. Asylum-seekers must navigate a difficult and complex process that involves multiple government agencies. Those granted asylum have the opportunity to apply to live in the United States permanently, receive certain benefits, and be reunited with their family members.

Asylum is a form of protection available to individuals who have fled their home country due to persecution or a well-founded fear of persecution based on:

• Race

• Religion

• Nationality

• Political opinion

• Membership in a particular social group

Filing for asylum allows individuals to remain in the U.S. and potentially gain lawful status if they qualify for protection under U.S. immigration law.

To qualify for asylum in the U.S., you must:

• Be physically present in the United States or at a U.S. port of entry.

• Demonstrate that you have suffered past persecution or have a well-founded fear of future persecution in your home country.

• File an asylum application within one year of your arrival in the U.S. (unless exceptional circumstances apply).

Our team at Global Partners Law Firm specializes in preparing strong, well-documented applications that tell your story and highlight the reasons you qualify for asylum. We understand that each case is unique, and we will ensure your application reflects the specific challenges and dangers you face.
