What Is Asylum?

Asylum provides protection to individuals already present in the United States who fear persecution in their home country. To be eligible for asylum, the persecution must be from the government or individuals/organizations who the government is unable or unwilling to control. Furthermore, the persecution must be based on race, religion, nationality, political opinion, or membership in a particular social group.

Typically, individuals must apply for asylum within one year of their arrival in the United States. However, exceptions exist, such as changing conditions in the home country or extraordinary circumstances preventing earlier application. Individuals granted asylum can be granted permanent residency after one year.

Proving Eligibility for Asylum 

The process of proving eligibility for asylum can be challenging and stressful. Timely completion is crucial in immigration cases, and engaging an experienced lawyer is essential for success. Our Newark asylum lawyers are dedicated to providing personalized legal services, guiding you through every step of the legal process.

Persecution can take various forms, including death threats, violence, torture, detention, or severe economic deprivation. Asylum seekers must establish a "well-founded fear" of persecution if they were to return to their home country to qualify for asylum in the United States.
