Who Qualifies for Asylum?
You may qualify for asylum in the U.S. if you can demonstrate that you’ve experienced — or fear future — persecution in your home country due to one or more of the following protected grounds:
- Race
- Religion
- Nationality
- Political opinion
- Membership in a particular social group
This includes cases involving threats from government actors or non-government groups that your government is unwilling or unable to control.
How the Asylum Process Works
If you’re already in the U.S., you must generally apply for asylum within one year of arrival unless an exception applies. There are two primary types of asylum procedures:
- Affirmative Asylum: Filed proactively with USCIS if you’re not in removal proceedings.
- Defensive Asylum: Requested as a defense against deportation during immigration court proceedings.
As your asylum attorney, Alhasan Mahmood will guide you through every stage—from preparing a strong application and gathering supporting evidence to preparing for interviews or court appearances.
