There are specific requirements which must be met in order for an individual to prove they are in danger of being persecuted or harmed, and thus eligible to seek asylum. That is why if you or a loved one wishes to seek asylum contact our asylum attorney at Rodriguez Figueroa Law. We will review your specific situation, analysis all the facts surrounding your asylum request, and help you determine the best course of action to pursue.

We work with individuals who have either arrived in the U.S. with the specific purpose of requesting asylum and need legal representation to do so, and with individuals who have been found to be in the U.S. illegally, but have a real fear of being persecuted if they were to be deported back to their native country. In a situation like that, requesting asylum may be the proper deportation defense.

If your spouse or minor children are with you in the U.S., they too can be included on your application for asylum. Once asylum is granted, you will be able to legally live and work in the United States. After one year, you will also be eligible to apply for a permanent residence visa in order to achieve permanent resident status.
