Understanding Asylum and Refugee Protection

Asylum basics

Asylum protects people in the United States who fear persecution in their home country based on race, religion, nationality, political opinion, or membership in a particular social group. You generally apply using Form I-589 and can seek protection through USCIS (affirmative asylum) or in immigration court (defensive asylum).

Refugee status basics

Refugee status is typically processed outside the United States through resettlement programs before entry. The legal standard is similar to asylum, but the process and agencies involved differ. Once in the United States as a refugee, you can apply for a green card after meeting statutory requirements.

Key forms of protection

Asylum
Withholding of Removal
Convention Against Torture (CAT) protection

Each form has distinct standards, procedures, and benefits. We help you determine the right approach for your circumstances.

What We Help You Prepare

Personal declaration and affidavit timeline
Supporting letters from family, coworkers, community leaders
Medical and psychological evaluations when appropriate

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between asylum and refugee status?
Asylum applies to people already in the United States or at a port of entry. Refugee status is usually processed outside the country through resettlement channels.

How long does the asylum process take?
Timelines vary by office, case complexity, and court calendars. We set expectations based on your filing venue and keep you updated on movement.

Can my spouse or children be included in my case?
In many situations, qualifying family members can be included or follow to join. We will confirm eligibility and outline the documentation needed.

Do I need a lawyer for an asylum interview or hearing?
You are not required to have a lawyer. Many applicants choose counsel to help prepare evidence, organize testimony, and handle legal issues that arise.

What happens if my claim is not approved?
You may have options such as an appeal to the BIA or a petition for review in federal court. We assess deadlines promptly and explain the process.

Can I apply for work authorization as an asylum applicant?
