Under Persecution In Your Home Country? Asylum Might Be The Answer

If you or a loved one is facing adversity due to conditions in your home country - or if returning home instills a fear in you - the U.S. government allows you to apply for asylum regardless of your immigration status, so long as you meet certain criteria. Persecution must be linked to your nationality, ethnicity, political views, religion, or membership in a socially vulnerable group. You will also need to provide a sworn statement detailing why you left your home country and the reasons that make your return problematic.


This is undoubtedly a distressing predicament to be in - and that's why Wilson Wong, an Immigration Law attorney in California, will remain by your side throughout the journey, pushing every boundary to protect you from the conditions in your home country that led you to seek relief in the U.S. Don't delay. Arrange your consultation with Wilson Wong, a compassionate counselor in immigration law, right away.

Affirmative Asylum Proceedings

If you're a foreign citizen and currently in the U.S., or if you're seeking entry at a U.S. port of entry, you have the right to submit an Application for Asylum and Withholding of Removal form to the USCIS. It's crucial to remember that there's a time limit for this process. Unless you're able to demonstrate a significant change in circumstances, you should submit the form (I-589) within one year of your most recent arrival in the U.S. Dealing with extraordinary circumstances? You'll want assistance from Wilson Wong, a seasoned immigration law attorney in California, to increase the chances of your petition's success, even if you're past the one-year timeframe. Considering the current backlog of asylum applications, you can apply for authorization to work in the U.S. for two years after you've filed your asylum application. Navigating the asylum process alone is a daunting task. The USCIS thoroughly examines asylum applications, making it imperative to have an attorney who can guide you through it. Reach out to Wilson Wong today.

Defensive Asylum Proceedings

Even if USCIS proceedings have already commenced against you, there's still an opportunity to file an I-589 application. The process slightly varies from the affirmative asylum procedure. It follows a defensive asylum approach where the USCIS will set a date for your hearing before an immigration judge. Your evidence and the testimonies of your witnesses will be scrutinized by the judge. They will also ask you about your persecution experiences and your fears about returning home. Commonly, the judge will decide at the end of your hearing. Approval of your application allows you to apply for a green card after a year of constant physical presence in the U.S. It undoubtedly emphasizes the need for proficient legal guidance to ensure you present an overpowering case. If you find yourself in immigration court, remember, it's never too late. Reach out to Wilson Wong, your dedicated immigration law attorney in California, today.
