The Affirmative Asylum Process

To begin the process, you must file Form I-589, Application for Asylum and Withholding of Removal, to the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). The USCIS will review your application and schedule you for an interview with an Asylum Officer, who will determine your eligibility for asylum and decide whether to grant or deny your asylum request. If they deny your application, they will forward your case to a judge who will conduct a hearing and make a decision independent of the USCIS.

It is important to work with a lawyer during the application and hearing processes. An attorney can provide legal advice to help you present your case and seek a favorable decision. Attorney Widman will work one-on-one with you to get a firm grasp of your situation and explain your best course of action.
