If you are in the United States or at the U.S. border, you have the right to request protection under asylum laws through the Convention Against Torture. You have a right to request employment authorization after a period of time and remain in the U.S. while your asylum application is pending. Once approved, you are eligible to apply for U.S. legal residency after one year.
If you fear for your and your family’s safety and well-being due to one of the asylum grounds, then the Law Offices of Henry Haddad will help you get safe harbor in the U.S. We will fight for you to keep your family safe and to remain in the U.S.
To qualify for asylum, you must demonstrate to the United States government that you fear persecution in your native country based upon one or more of the following factors.
You must demonstrate that you have been persecuted in your home country because of your race or ethnicity.
You must demonstrate that you have been persecuted in your home country because of your nationality.
You must demonstrate that you have been persecuted in your home country because of your open political beliefs or participation in political events.
You must demonstrate that you have been persecuted in your home country because of your membership in a religious group.
You must demonstrate that you have been persecuted because of your membership in a particular social group.
Contrary to popular belief, refugee status and asylum follow different tracks. Asylum seekers must already be in the United States and must submit the application to the United States government within one year of admission or entry. Meanwhile, refugees must file an application for relief under a program with the United Nations, from abroad.
