Many people come to the United States seeking protection because they have suffered persecution or fear that they will suffer persecution due to race, religion, nationality, membership in a particular social group, or political opinion. They can seek asylum only if they are physically present in the United States, or if they present themselves at a U.S. port of entry and request to be screened.
Note that there are two paths to obtain asylum in the U.S. The affirmative asylum process is for individuals who are not in removal proceedings and the defensive asylum process is for individuals who are in removal proceedings.
Morrison Urena, L.C. is experienced in representing clients seeking affirmative asylum and defensive asylum. To arrange for a free consult, contact Rafael Urena at rafael@morrisonurena.com or Curtis Morrison at curtis@morrisonurena.com.
