Affirmative Asylum Proceedings

Whether you're a foreign citizen currently in the U.S. or looking to enter at a U.S. port of entry, you maintain the right to file an Application for Asylum and Withholding of Removal form with the USCIS. Timing is critical in this process, and ideally, you should file the required form (I-589) within a year of your last entry into the U.S. Exceptions exist for those dealing with extraordinary circumstances, such instances may demand tailored legal assistance for a successful petition, even if it falls outside the one-year timeframe.

Defensive Asylum Proceedings

If the USCIS has initiated proceedings against you, rest assured that you can still file an I-589 application. This scenario prompts a slight alteration from the affirmative asylum process. In this defensive asylum process, the USCIS assigns a date for your hearing in front of an immigration judge. This judge will carefully heed your account and those of your witnesses, as well as closely examining the evidence you present. Furthermore, the judge will direct questions your way regarding your persecution experiences and your anxiety about returning home. Typically, the judge will conclude your hearing with a final decision. If the judge sanctions your application, you have the opportunity to apply for a green card following a year of continuous physical presence in the U.S. It's vital to have a proficient attorney like Ruben Espinoza in your corner, supporting your case.
