Asylum And Refugee Status In Los Angeles
There are several forms of relief for those persons who are unable or unwilling to return to their home country because of a “well-founded fear of persecution on account of race, religion, nationality, membership in a particular social group, or political opinion.” These are asylum, withholding of removal, protection against torture (under the Convention Against Torture (CAT)), Temporary Protected Status (TPS) and refugee protection.

Los Angeles Asylum Lawyers
The Refugee Act of 1980 established procedures for those foreign nationals physically present in the U.S. seeking asylum. Asylum applications may be submitted affirmatively to an asylum office within one year after the person’s entry in the U.S. This one-year time limit can only be overcome by a showing of changed circumstances that materially affect the person’s eligibility or extraordinary circumstances regarding the delay in filing the application. Additionally, an applicant may pursue his/her request for asylum before an immigration judge.
Our asylum lawyers know what kind of factual evidence is persuasive in asylum and related cases, and we help our asylum clients make strong applications with a good chance of success.
