Immigration Asylum Lawyer in Houston, TX

Escape Persecution by Immigrating to the United States

Asylum can be granted to any foreign national seeking to escape persecution in their country of origin. Thousands of individuals flee to the U.S. every year to get away from persecution due to their race, religion, nationality, membership in a particular social group, or political opinion. An asylee does not need to apply for a visa before entering the United States. They must simply request asylum at their port of entry and submit a formal application for asylum within one year of entering the country.

How to Apply for Asylum

If you have entered the United States and wish to request asylum, you must file Form I-589, Application for Asylum and for Withholding of Removal as soon as possible. You have up to one year to file the form before you may face removal, which is why it is in your best interests to file as soon as possible. This is due to the fact that you cannot request permission to work until your application is approved, or until at least 150 days have passed since you filed your petition.
