Asylum & Refugee Services

Asylum may be granted to individuals already in the United States

Asylum may be granted to individuals already in the United States who are unable or unwilling to return to their home country because of persecution on account of race, religion, nationality, membership in a social group (including sexual orientation), or political opinion. If you are granted asylum, you will be allowed to live and work in the United States.

Types of AsylumEvery year people come to the United States seeking protection because they have suffered persecution or fear that they will suffer persecution due to:

• Membership in a particular social group
• Nationality
• Political opinion
• Race
• Religion

Asylum & Work Permits
If you are eligible for asylum you may be permitted to remain in the United States. To apply for Asylum, file a Form I-589, Application for Asylum and for Withholding of Removal, within one year of your arrival to the United States. There is no fee to apply for asylum.
Asylum & Family

You may include your spouse and children who are in the United States on your application at the time you file or at any time until a final decision is made on your case. To include your child on your application, the child must be under 21 and unmarried.

Refugee Status

Refugee status is similar to asylum but is obtained by a person who is currently outside the country. Like people claiming asylum, refugees can build a case that they may be persecuted because of their race, religion, nationality, political opinions or membership of a particular social group. These categories broaden out to include people who are persecuted because of their sexual orientation, ethnicity, and more. Contact us to discuss whether your personal circumstances might make you eligible for asylum or refugee status.

We assist clients from around-the-world with the process of obtaining asylum in the United States and the United Kingdom.

Deportation & Removal

Deportation/removal is a process used by the US government to remove individuals form the United States. The sharp rise in the number of undocumented immigrants in the United States has inevitably resulted in an increasing number of deportation and removal attempts by the US government. The legal framework associated with deportation is notoriously complex and there may be grounds to appeal a decision to deport you. Contact our team to discuss your specific circumstances.

Refugees & Asylum Seekers to the United States from India

Whilst our firm helps refugees and asylum seekers from all over the world, we have significant experience with assisting refugees and asylum seekers from India. Typically, many Indians have claimed refugee status because of the need to physically be in the United States to claim asylum.

However, the numbers of Indians reaching America through its southern border with Mexico has grown rapidly over the past decade, as has the number facing deportation and removal from the United States. Please contact our team whether you are seeking to claim refugee or asylum status from India. We also offer deportation defense for Indian migrants.
