The Woodlands Asylum Lawyer

If you’ve fled your home country in search of safety, securing asylum in the United States can provide the protection and stability you need to rebuild your life. At the Law Office of Marron Gebremeskel, we understand how critical this process is for you and your family. With legal insight and personalized support, we’re here to guide you every step of the way.

What is Asylum?

Asylum is a legal protection granted to individuals who cannot return to their home country due to a well-founded fear of persecution. This fear must be based on one or more of the following grounds:

  • Race  
  • Religion  
  • Nationality  
  • Political opinion  
  • Membership in a particular social group  

The purpose of asylum is to ensure the safety and security of those facing harm in their homeland. Beyond protection, asylum offers a path to work legally in the U.S., reunite with family, and eventually apply for permanent residency and citizenship.

Types of Asylum Applications

When seeking asylum in the U.S., your application will fall under one of two categories:

Affirmative Asylum

Affirmative asylum is for individuals who are not currently in removal (deportation) proceedings. Applicants submit Form I-589 to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) and undergo an interview with an asylum officer. To qualify:

  • You must be physically present in the U.S.  
  • You must meet the eligibility criteria mentioned above.  
  • Your application must generally be filed within one year of your arrival in the U.S., unless exceptions apply.  

Defensive Asylum

Defensive asylum applies to individuals who are facing removal proceedings. Here, asylum is used as a defense against deportation. Cases are heard before an immigration judge, with the opportunity to present evidence and arguments in support of your claim.

Selecting the right path and successfully navigating each step demands thoughtful planning, meticulous attention to detail, and legal guidance.

Why You Need an Experienced Asylum Lawyer

The asylum process is complex and involves strict deadlines, detailed documentation, and potential legal hurdles. An experienced asylum lawyer can provide the insight and support you need to strengthen your case and avoid costly mistakes. At the Law Office of Marron Gebremeskel, we offer:
