Our team understands the challenges of fleeing persecution and navigating the complex asylum process. Whether you’re facing threats based on race, religion, nationality, political views, or membership in a particular social group, our experienced attorneys will help you fight for protection.

Understanding Asylum in Queens

Asylum is a legal protection for individuals who have experienced past persecution or have a well-founded fear of future persecution in their home countries. This persecution must be based on one of five protected grounds: race, religion, nationality, political opinion, or membership in a particular social group. Our attorneys in Queens can help you navigate the legal system and file for asylum either affirmatively through the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) or defensively if you are facing removal proceedings in immigration court.

What Benefits Can Asylum Provide?

If you are granted asylum in the U.S., you can expect the following benefits:

• Right to Remain in the U.S.: Once you are granted asylum, you are allowed to stay in the U.S. indefinitely, as long as you maintain your asylee status.
• Employment Authorization: You will be authorized to work in the U.S. and can apply for an Employment Authorization Document (EAD) to evidence your legal ability to work.
• Family Reunification: You may petition for derivative asylum status for your spouse and unmarried children (under 21 years old) to join you in the U.S.
• Pathway to Permanent Residency: After one year of physical presence in the U.S. as an asylee, you are eligible to apply for a green card (permanent residency), which can lead to U.S. citizenship.

Follow-to-Join for Refugees and Asylees

Our firm also assists clients with the follow-to-join process, allowing you to bring family members to the U.S. if you have already been granted asylum. Spouses and unmarried children (under 21) of asylees can follow you to the U.S. without having to file their own separate asylum applications. We help you file petitions and navigate the process to reunite with your loved ones as quickly and smoothly as possible.
