Asylum / Refugees Fighting For a Secure Future For You & Your Family

Asylum Lawyer in Coppell, TX

Asylum & Immigration Help for Refugees

Asylum matters were a significant factor in our decision to practice immigration law. Our attorneys and staff are dedicated to helping those whose lives are or have been endangered in their home countries. We want to help immigrants in these situations enjoy a better quality of life by obtaining asylum in the United States. 

Please contact an experienced asylum lawyer near you at (972) 497-1017 to schedule an initial consultation. Our services are available in Spanish.

The Challenge of Obtaining Asylum

Asylum is extremely difficult to obtain and more applications are denied than approved. A high crime rate in your home country is not sufficient to have your application approved. A person seeking asylum must be able to demonstrate a “well-founded fear of persecution” based on specific factors. The threat must come from either the government or a group that is out of the government’s control.

Asylum may be granted if a person can show a fear of persecution based on:

  • Race
  • Nationality
  • Religion
  • Political opinion
  • Affiliation with a particular social group

If asylum is granted, your status will eventually change to permanent residence. That means you get a green card and eventually can get citizenship. An application for asylum must be completed within a year of entering the United States. If you have been in the country longer, the conditions in the country must have changed or your own personal circumstances must have changed within the prior year. Anyone may apply for asylum, regardless of legal immigration status.
