Frequently Asked Questions
What are the key asylum eligibility criteria in New York?
To qualify for asylum, you must prove you are fleeing persecution based on race, religion, nationality, political opinion, or membership in a particular social group. The legal process can be complex, and our firm ensures your application meets all necessary requirements.
How long does it take to process an asylum case in New York?
Processing times vary based on caseloads and immigration court schedules. Some cases are resolved within months, while others take years. Our team works diligently to prepare strong applications and reduce unnecessary delays.
Can I still apply for asylum if I entered the U.S. illegally?
Yes. You can apply for asylum even if you entered without documentation, but you must file within one year of your arrival. There are exceptions, and we can help determine if you qualify for an extension or other relief.
What is the difference between asylum and withholding of removal?
Asylum provides a path to permanent residency, while withholding of removal only prevents deportation but does not grant a green card. Our firm helps clients determine which option is best for their case.
What happens if my asylum application is denied?
If your case is denied, you may appeal to the board of immigration appeals or seek relief in federal court of appeals. We handle appeals and ensure all legal options are explored to protect your rights.
Can I apply for asylum if I am a victim of domestic violence?
Yes. Victims of domestic violence may qualify for asylum if they can prove that they belong to a persecuted social group in their home country. These cases require strong legal arguments, and we provide compassionate representation.
Can my family members join me in the U.S. if I am granted asylum?
Yes. If your asylum application is approved, you may petition for your spouse and unmarried children under 21 to join you. We help clients navigate the family reunification process to keep loved ones together.
