IMMIGRATION SERVICES
Refugee Status, Asylum, and Convention Against Torture
Protection for those who cannot safely return home.
OVERVIEW
Asylum protects people who have been persecuted, or fear persecution, because of race, religion, nationality, political opinion, or membership in a particular social group. Refugee status offers the same protection to people applying from outside the United States. Asylum must generally be filed within one year of arrival, with limited exceptions.
Asylees and refugees can work, bring a spouse and children, and later apply for a green card. When asylum is not available, withholding of removal or protection under the Convention Against Torture may still prevent a return to danger. We build each claim on credible testimony, strong evidence, and research into conditions in your country.
