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

If you or a loved one has faced troubling circumstances or threats in your home country, or if you fear returning due to potential conflict, the United States government permits you to seek asylum in the U.S, irrespective of your immigration status, as long as you satisfy certain conditions. The distress must be rooted in your nationality, ethnicity, political views, religion, or your part in a wronged social group. Furthermore, you will be required to produce a sworn statement detailing why you departed from your home country and what fuels your fear to return there. It's indeed a frightening position to be in – and that's why Warner Law in New Jersey is here to assist you throughout the process, striving relentlessly to shield you from the alarming situation in your home country that led you to the U.S. initially. Don't wait. Schedule your meeting with one of our compassionate legal advisors at Warner Law today.

Affirmative Asylum Proceedings

Individuals currently in the U.S. or seeking entry at a U.S. port have the legal right to submit an Application for Asylum and Withholding of Removal form to the USCIS. However, time is crucial as the form (I-589) must be filed within a year of your last U.S. entry, unless there has been a significant change in your circumstances. For those dealing with extraordinary conditions, it's advisable to consult with Warner Law in New Jersey to increase the likelihood of a successful petition, even if you're outside the one-year window. With the existing backlog on asylum applications, you are eligible to request a two-year work authorization post filing your asylum application. Navigating through asylum procedures can be complex, and having Warner Law by your side could be instrumental in making your case. USCIS carefully scrutinizes every asylum application, hence it's crucial to have exemplary legal support. Contact Warner Law in New Jersey for assistance today.

Defensive Asylum Proceedings

If the USCIS has already initiated proceedings against you, there's still an opportunity to file an I-589 application. The process can be slightly different from the affirmative asylum course. In a defensive asylum scenario, the USCIS will arrange a hearing before an immigration Justice. The Justice will review your testimony, that of your witnesses, and the evidence you bring to the table. Moreover, the Justice will inquire about your experiences of persecution and your fear associated with returning home. Typically, the decision is made at the conclusion of your hearing.


Should the Justice consent to your application, you're eligible to apply for a green card after a year of continuous physical presence in the U.S. Without question, having a highly-skilled immigration lawyer like Mary Warner of Warner Law in New Jersey, can boost your chances of presenting a persuasive case. So, if you're already in the throes of immigration court procedures, remember it's never too late. Contact Warner Law to connect with your new advocate in immigration law today.
