Asylum Applications Filed in FY 2024
Asylum is a form of humanitarian protection available to individuals who cannot safely return to their home country because they have suffered persecution or have a well-founded fear of future persecution based on race, religion, nationality, political opinion, or membership in a particular social group. For many immigrants in Long Island and New York City, asylum offers a critical opportunity to remain in the United States lawfully and build a safer future.
Asylum cases often involve complex legal and factual issues, including past threats, violence, government corruption, gang persecution, domestic violence, political activism, religious discrimination, and other forms of targeted harm. Applicants must present detailed personal declarations, supporting evidence, country conditions reports, and corroborating documentation to establish eligibility.

We assist clients in both affirmative asylum cases filed with USCIS and defensive asylum cases presented before the Immigration Court. Our firm is committed to handling these sensitive matters with compassion, confidentiality, and strategic advocacy.
