Asylum & Refugees

Phoenix Political and Religious Asylum Attorney

Foreign nationals in the United States who have a reasonable fear for their safety if they return to their home countries may be able to seek asylum. The fear must be well-founded and based upon persecution due to race, religion, nationality or membership in a political or social group. In these situations, a foreign national may be able to apply for asylum status and be allowed to stay in the United States without fear of deportation to his or her home country.

Asylum and Deportation Defense

Asylum may be a viable means of deportation defense, if the individual seeking asylum has a well-founded fear of persecution in returning to his or her home country. Fear of persecution must be based upon one or more of the following factors:

• Race
• Nationality
• Religious beliefs
• Political views
• Membership in a specific social group

After an individual has been granted asylum, he or she may apply for permanent resident status after 1 year.
