Asylum Services for White Plains Residents – Law Offices of Norka M. Schell, LLC
If you reside in White Plains, NY, and are seeking asylum due to persecution in your home country, the Law Offices of Norka M. Schell, LLC, can provide you with expert legal guidance. Asylum offers protection to individuals who face danger or persecution based on race, religion, nationality, political opinion, or social group membership. Our experienced attorneys understand the complexities of the asylum process and are dedicated to helping you achieve the protection and legal status you deserve.
Comprehensive Asylum Services in White Plains
Asylum is a form of protection for individuals who cannot return to their home countries because they face persecution or have a well-founded fear of future persecution. This protection is available to individuals who are persecuted on the basis of one or more of the following:
- Race
- Religion
- Nationality
- Political Opinion
- Membership in a Particular Social Group
At the Law Offices of Norka M. Schell, LLC, we assist with both affirmative asylum applications (for those applying from within the U.S. without being in removal proceedings) and defensive asylum applications (for those seeking asylum to avoid deportation). Our attorneys work closely with clients to gather evidence, prepare applications, and represent them during interviews or hearings.
Benefits of Asylum
If granted asylum, you will receive several important benefits, including:
- Right to Remain in the U.S.: You will be legally allowed to stay in the U.S. indefinitely while holding valid asylee status.
- Work Authorization: You can apply for and receive an Employment Authorization Document (EAD), which allows you to work legally in the U.S.
- Family Reunification: You may petition to bring your spouse and unmarried children (under 21) to the U.S. through derivative asylum.
- Path to Permanent Residency: After one year of physical presence in the U.S., asylees are eligible to apply for a green card (permanent residency), which can later lead to U.S. citizenship.
Follow-to-Join for Asylees
Our law firm also assists clients in White Plains with the follow-to-join process, which allows asylees to petition for their spouse and unmarried children under 21 to join them in the U.S. without requiring them to undergo a separate asylum process. This reunites families and provides them with the safety and stability they deserve.
