The United States government offers a status known as asylum to foreign residents that fear or have experienced persecution in their home country. Asylum status could be available even if you are otherwise ineligible to immigrate to the U.S.
Receiving asylum can be a life-saving event for you and your loved ones. However, many applicants are turned away each year. There are strict guidelines that must be met in order to qualify, and a simple mistake on an application could result in denial.
In order to be eligible for asylum, you must be able to show you have a well-founded fear of persecution if you are forced to return home. This could be based on previous acts of abuse, however fear alone is enough.
You must also show that you face persecution due to some kind of legally protected status. This could include facing threats of harm based on your political beliefs, religion, race, or country or origin.
It is never a good idea to navigate the asylum system alone. When you have support from an experienced Tucson asylum lawyer, you could improve your chances of success.
