Seeking asylum in the United States can be a complex process. Individuals who fear persecution in their home country may be eligible for asylum in the United States, but navigating the legal system can be challenging without the assistance of an experienced asylum attorney. At the Law Offices of Kevin J. Stewart, our skilled asylum lawyers are dedicated to helping clients obtain legal status in the United States and protecting their rights. We offer personalized and compassionate legal representation and guidance to clients seeking asylum in the United States.

Applying for Refugee Status and the Role of an Asylum lawyer

To apply for asylum in the United States, an individual must submit Form I-589, Application for Asylum and for Withholding of Removal, within one year of arriving in the U.S. However, there are exceptions to this time limit, and an experienced asylum attorney can advise on these exceptions. The individual must also undergo a credible fear interview with the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS).

An asylum attorney at the Law Offices of Kevin J. Stewart can play a vital role in preparing a successful petition for asylum. They can assist the client in gathering evidence to support their claim, such as documents related to persecution, police reports, and medical records. They can also prepare the client for the credible fear interview and asylum interview, which can be a daunting process for many asylum seekers.

Representing the Applicant in Removal Proceedings

If the USCIS denies the asylum application or refers the case to an immigration judge, the applicant will need to appear in immigration court for removal proceedings. This can be a challenging process, as the immigration judge will review the case and determine whether the applicant qualifies for asylum. An experienced asylum attorney at our firm can represent the applicant in immigration court and present legal arguments to support the client’s claim for asylum.

Securing a Favorable Result with the Immigration Judge

If the immigration judge grants the asylum application, the applicant will be eligible for permanent residency after one year. However, if the immigration judge denies the application, the applicant may have the option to appeal the decision to the Board of Immigration Appeals. An experienced asylum attorney on our legal team can assist the client with the appeal process and present legal arguments to support the client’s claim for asylum.

Asylees and the Executive Office for Immigration Review

After an individual is granted asylum in the United States, they will become an asylee. Asylees can apply for permanent residency one year after being granted asylum, and they can also apply for parole, expedited removal, advance parole, and employment authorization documents. The Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR) oversees the immigration court system and the Board of Immigration Appeals.
