Asylum

Are You Seeking Asylum in the United States?

Our Attorney Serves Immigrants Across South Florida & the U.S.

In the United States, our government grants legal protection to select individuals who seek asylum here. Whether you entered the United States legally or illegally, you can protect yourself by applying for asylum. Asylum can also be granted to refugees who have yet to enter the United States.

Asylum is granted to an individual who can demonstrate a credible fear of persecution in their home country based on any of the following:

  • Race
  • Religion
  • Political views
  • Membership in a certain social group

If you or your loved ones wish to apply for asylum, our team of lawyers can help you fill out the necessary documentation and prepare you for interviews with the government authorities who will review your case. During such a complicated, and often a fearful and emotional time of your life, we are here to help you every step of the way.

Immigration Attorney Serving St. Lucie & Martin Counties & All Surrounding Areas

U.S. immigration law provides a means for people to find refuge in the United States for a number of reasons. When Congress passed the Victims of Trafficking and Violence Protection Act in 2000, they also created the U class of non-immigrant visas for victims of certain crimes who were the victims of mental or physical abuse and can be useful to law enforcement in the prosecution of criminal activity. Similarly, battered spouses, children, or parents can file a petition for an immigrant visa as part of the Immigration and Nationality Act as part of the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA).

Other forms of humanitarian immigration benefits are extended to:

  • Refugees
  • I-751 conditional resident waivers for spouses of citizens
  • Advance parole
  • Foreign nationals already in the U.S. through Temporary Protected Status
  • Victims of human trafficking and other crimes

FAQ

Common Answers To Your Questions


  • I’m a foreign national studying in the U.S., can I stay within the country following graduation?
    To stay in the country following graduation, a student will need to obtain an H-1B temporary worker visa. Typically, graduates who work in a specialty field (such as a medical professional or engineer) will be able to obtain this visa with ease. To ensure that this process moves smoothly, it is recommended that students apply for this visa as early as possible to avoid penalties.
  • Can I become a citizen after I am granted permanent residency?
    Yes! If you live in the country for five years as a permanent resident, you will be able to obtain citizenship through naturalization. To be eligible for this, however, you must have been physically living in the country for at least half of those five years – and must not have left for a time period longer than six months.
  • I am looking to adopt a foreign child – how can I make the process as fast as possible?
    For those who are looking into adoption, but have yet to identify the child that they are interested in adopting, it is recommended that they file an Application for Advance Processing of Orphan Petition. This will allow for the portion relating to the approval of the parents to be completed by the time the child is chosen so that the adoption process can be expedited.
  • If I become a citizen, what are the privileges that I will experience?
    There are three primary privileges that citizens can experience. These include being able to vote in local, state and national elections; having the ability to obtain a passport; and sponsoring relatives in their efforts to become a permanent resident.
