Lynn Asylum Lawyers
What is Asylum?
Every year, countless people immigrate to the United States seeking protection from persecution for their race, religion, beliefs, or political affiliations. People who seek to remain in the country for this reason are immigrants seeking asylum. An asylee (asylum applicant) claims that they need to remain in the country because they will be in danger or harm of unjust imprisonment if they return home. If you are seeking asylum in the U.S., you will need a skilled attorney who can help you prove your need to remain in the country.

What Do I Need to do to Obtain Asylum?
You need to already be in the United States in order to apply for asylum, and you must apply within one year of arriving. You will need a Form I-589, Application for Asylum and for Withholding of United States, which you can obtain online. There is no fee for applying, but the forms can be complex, and any mistake you make could jeopardize your protected status, which is why it strongly recommended that you fill it out with an experienced attorney.
In order to be eligible for asylum, you will need to prove:
- That you are a member of a race, religion, nationality, political group, or other organization that is facing persecution in your country of residence.
- You are outside of your native country and are unwilling and unwilling to go home.
- You cannot be safely relocated to another part of your native country.
- The government of your home country cannot protect you from persecution, or are responsible for the persecution
- You have been persecuted in the past or have strong reason to believe you would be persecuted, such as in the case where a family member was persecuted.
