Filing Your Asylum Application

· Asylum Application Process

Once you have gathered your documents, the next step is to file your application with the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). This involves completing Form I-589, the application for asylum and for withholding of removal. Detailed instructions are provided on the form, but nuances in legal language can lead to mistakes. Therefore, having a consultant review your application before submission can greatly enhance your chances of success.
