What to expect
Every asylum case is different. Some cases move quickly. Others take time, require more evidence, or involve court hearings and difficult credibility questions.
Our job is to help you understand the process, prepare your case carefully, and present it as strongly as the facts and law allow. We do not promise outcomes, but we do provide serious, attorney-led representation.
If timing is urgent, detention is involved, or a prior filing creates complications, we address those issues directly and honestly.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who can apply for asylum?
People who are in the United States and fear persecution in their home country based on a protected ground may be eligible to apply. Eligibility depends on the facts, timing, and procedural history.
What is the difference between affirmative and defensive asylum?
Affirmative asylum is usually filed with USCIS when a person is not in removal proceedings. Defensive asylum is presented in Immigration Court when a person is already facing removal.
Do I need to file within one year?
In many cases, yes. There is generally a one-year filing deadline, although some exceptions may apply. This issue should be reviewed carefully as early as possible.
Can you help if I am already in Immigration Court?
Yes. We handle defensive asylum matters and related protection claims for clients in removal proceedings, including cases that require hearing preparation.
What if my case has problems or was denied before?
Some cases involve prior statements, missed deadlines, denials, or other complications. Those issues do not have one simple answer, but they should be reviewed quickly so you understand your options.
