Asylum Immigration Law Firm Alexandria

Credible fear of prosecution

Asylum is the immigration status afforded to a person entering the United States when he or she has a reasonable fear of persecution if forced to return to their country of residence. 

Our law firm is available to answer your questions and provide expert representation.  In order to obtain asylum, an individual must have been in the United States for less than one year.

Can I work in the United States as an asylee?

An individual may immediately begin to work when he or she becomes an asylee. This is so because additional employment authorization is not required for an asylee to work in the United States.

Can my family work in the United States?

In addition, your immediate family members may also be eligible for asylum status, provided that they were included in the original asylum application. This additional benefit is conferred upon family members even if the other family members are not actually in the United States upon submission of the application.

In order to apply, you must provide specific information to the government.
