Affirmative Asylum in the United States

Affirmative asylum is requested by those who are not in removal proceedings: the application is filed with USCIS and the case is decided after an interview with an asylum officer.

We review your situation before starting, because that is what determines whether your case follows this path or the defensive one. On that basis we prepare a complete file, mindful of the deadlines.

What the preparation of your affirmative asylum includes

• Transcription of Form I-589 for filing with USCIS
• Organization of the evidence that supports your case
• Review of the one-year deadline from your last entry
• Preparation of your file for the asylum interview
