Under Persecution In Your Home Country? Asylum Might Be The Answer

If you or a loved one has endured persecution or threats in your home country – or if you fear persecution on return – the United States government permits you to apply for asylum in the U.S, irrespective of your immigration status, as long as certain requirements are met. The persecution must originate from your nationality, ethnicity, political views, religion, or your affiliation with a persecuted social group. Moreover, you will have to give a sworn declaration explaining why you departed from your home country and the causes of your fear to go back there. It is indeed a distressing predicament to find yourself in – and that’s why Sandra Echevarria, a devoted legal professional based in Miami, will remain steadfastly with you throughout the process, endeavoring to the utmost to shield you from the precarious situation in your home country that brought you to the U.S. in the first place. Don’t delay. Schedule your appointment with Sandra Echevarria today.

Affirmative Asylum Proceedings

The Law Offices of Sandra Echevarria, P.A., based in Miami, is committed to providing help to foreign citizens who find themselves physically present in the U.S. or aim to enter at a U.S. port. These individuals are entitled to file an Application for Asylum and Withholding of Removal form with the USCIS. As there is a time constraint, it is advisable to initiate the process promptly. The form (I-589) must be filed within one year of your last entry into the U.S., unless you're able to demonstrate a change in your circumstances. If you're dealing with exceptional circumstances, it is beneficial to consult with Sandra Echevarria to enhance the likelihood of a successful petition, even beyond the one-year time frame. Given the current backlog of asylum applications, you may request a two-year work authorization in the U.S. after filing your asylum application. Navigating through the asylum process can be complex, and the USCIS thoroughly examines all asylum applications. Having Law Offices of Sandra Echevarria, P.A. to support your case is crucial.

Defensive Asylum Proceedings

If the USCIS has initiated proceedings against you, Sandra Echevarria, based in Miami, can still assist you with filing an I-589 application. The proceeding deviates somewhat from the affirmative asylum process. In a defensive asylum process, USCIS will schedule you for a hearing before an immigration judge. The judge will consider your testimony, that of your witnesses, and the evidence you present. Furthermore, the judge will pose questions about your experience of persecution and your fear of returning home. Typically, a decision is made at the close of your hearing. If the judge approves your application, you can apply for a green card after a year of continuous physical presence in the U.S. It's pivotal to have competent legal counsel to ensure a robust case presentation. Should you find yourself in immigration court, remember it's not too late. You are advised to reach out to Sandra Echevarria today.
