Under Persecution In Your Home Country? Asylum Might Be The Answer

If you or a loved one is currently grappling with the very real and overwhelming fear of persecution or threats in your home country, or if you are deeply concerned about the imminent danger you might face upon returning, it’s crucial to know that help is available. Anny Leon, an experienced immigration attorney based in Florida, specializes in guiding individuals through the complexities of the U.S. asylum process. Understanding the eligibility criteria for asylum is vital, as it takes into account various factors such as your nationality, ethnicity, political beliefs, religious practices, or membership in a specific social group that may be at risk. To strengthen your case and improve your chances of a successful outcome, you will be required to submit a sworn statement that thoroughly addresses the reasons you fled your native country and elaborates on why it is simply too perilous for you to consider returning.


While navigating this daunting situation can feel overwhelming, rest assured that Anny Leon will be by your side, providing support every step of the way. She is committed to doing everything in her power to protect you from the dire circumstances that compelled you to seek sanctuary in the U.S. Time is of the essence in these matters, so do not hesitate to take action. Schedule a consultation with Anny Leon, your dedicated ally in Immigration Law in Florida, today and take the first step towards securing your future.

Affirmative Asylum Proceedings

Individuals present in the U.S. or those seeking entry through a U.S. port are entitled to submit an Application for Asylum and Withholding of Removal form with the USCIS. Yet, there is a time element to consider, and immediate action is often beneficial. Except for cases where you can establish that your circumstances have evolved, the form (I-589) should be submitted within a year of your last U.S. entry. Cases involving extraordinary circumstances would benefit from discussing the situation with Anny Leon, a dedicated Immigration Law attorney based in Florida. This can improve the chances of a successful petition even if you are outside the one-year window. Since asylum applications are presently backlogged, once your asylum application is filed, you may seek an authorization to work in the U.S. for two years. Navigating through the asylum process shouldn't be a solo endeavor. USCIS reviews asylum applications thoroughly, so it's crucial to have Anny Leon guide you in making your case.

Defensive Asylum Proceedings

If the USCIS has already initiated proceedings against you, don't worry. Anny Leon, a seasoned attorney in Florida, can help you to still file an I-589 application. The process may vary slightly from the affirmative asylum process. In a defensive asylum procedure, the USCIS will arrange for a hearing in front of an immigration judge. The judge will review your testimony and that of your witnesses, alongside the presented evidence. Moreover, the judge will pose questions relating to your past persecution experiences and your apprehensions about returning home.


Often, the judge will make a decision at the end of your hearing. If your application is approved, you get the eligibility to apply for a green card after a year of continuous physical presence in the U.S. It goes without saying that having Anny Leon, a well-versed immigration attorney, by your side is vital to put forward a strong case. If you're already in immigration court, it's not late. Reach out to Law Offices of Anny Leon PLLC today.
