You must be in the U.S. to apply for asylum. There are various other eligibility rules that must be met. Our experienced lawyers can advise you on whether you could pursue asylum given your specific circumstances.
Affirmative vs. Defensive Applications
There are two main routes for seeking asylum in the U.S.:
- Affirmative application: Pursuing asylum while not in removal proceedings
- Defensive application: Applying for asylum while already facing removal proceedings
These two application types each have their own processes and rules connected to them. We can help you understand which type your case falls into and guide you through all aspects of seeking asylum.
Can You Seek Protection for Your Family Too?
A person who is applying for or has been granted asylum can also pursue immigration protections for:
- A spouse
- Unmarried children under 21
