Interview: You will have an interview with an asylum officer or an immigration judge to present your case and share the reasons why you are seeking asylum.
Basis for Eligibility: To be eligible for asylum, you must demonstrate that you have suffered persecution or have a well-founded fear of future persecution based on one of the following grounds: race, religion, nationality, membership in a particular social group, or political opinion.
Documentation Requirements: Our legal team will work closely with you to gather and prepare essential documentation to support your asylum claim. This may include affidavits, medical or psychological reports, country condition reports, and other evidence that substantiates your fear of persecution.
