Greetings Jorge Rivera, immigration attorney.

Many people are interested in this topic because they are fighting, or they want to apply for asylumThe important thing to understand is that there are many different ways to get to the U.S., within the U.S. or at the border. The important thing to understand is that there are five legal bases for an asylum.

Legal basis for an asylum

If you want to win your case, it has to be based on the pursuit of your membership in one of five groups. Let's go slowly so you can write them down.

There are political, social, national, racial, racial or religious group memberships. There are 5 different groups in which you may have suffered persecution or fear persecution in the future.

For example: You cannot qualify for asylum just because you are from Nicaragua, Venezuela or Cuba, which are countries where, as we know, there is a lot of persecution. Saying that you are from a country where there is a lot of persecution does not get you anywhere. Past persecution or fear of future persecution has to be specific to you, not to the place where you reside.

Now, if you want to have a real chance of winning your case, you have to be able to document it. This way, we can prove to Immigration that your asylum case is not made up, it is not a sham or a lie, but it is true. I can tell you from my experience of having worked for the Immigration Court and the District Attorney's Office, that it also happens that Immigration gets tired of lying people.

Therefore, the key is to say, for example: "I suffered from domestic violencehere are the police reports". Domestic violence is considered persecution because of your membership in a social group. Or it can also happen in gangs "I am a victim of gangs in Central America (such as: El Salvador, Honduras, Guatemala), they extorted me, they beat me", etc.

How are you going to document it? We as attorneys file a report of the conditions in the country, but usually Immigration wants to see something additional. The key to winning asylum is not just the persecution, not just the evidence, but also the attorney. How many asylum cases has your attorney handled? This is something to keep in mind.

Hire an immigration attorney

Strategies are refined. The attorney or firm you hire will know the strategies that work for asylum. You have to know how to paint the picture for Immigration, so they understand why you fear for your life in the future.
Asylum is a benefit that can protect you and the rest of your family, and can lead to residency and citizenship eventually.

However, asylum is considered a high-risk benefit because a high percentage of cases are denied. In addition, you need to take special care in the preparation: review the affidavit, the arguments before they are presented, etc.

If you need help with the asylum, document it well and make it strong, do not hesitate to rely on our experience of more than 20 years. We have 27 attorneys in the firm. Call us at: 888 578 22 76.
