Asylum

An experienced Asylum attorney
in St Louis can work you through the asylum process.

Returning to their home country would be dangerous or life-threatening for some people in the United States. Immigration allows certain people in this situation to remain in the United States under a process known as Asylum. This process is a form of discretionary relief provided by the Department of Homeland Security (“DHS”) under strict conditions. The fact that the relief is discretionary means that DHS can choose to grant asylum and allow the person to remain in the U.S. or to deny a petition and order the person removable or deportable.

Asylum Service

Who Is This For?

A person requesting asylum or their St. Louis lawyer has to show that the potential persecution has a “reasonable possibility” of occurring. You must show that a reasonable person in your shoes would have a legitimate fear of persecution. The Supreme Court has suggested that an asylum applicant must show at least a 1-in-10 chance that persecution will occur. You also have to show that it is one or more of the five recognized reasons – and not some other reason – that you face persecution in your home country.

A well-prepared asylum application should also include specific information about the possible persecution and persecutor. For instance:

  • The person seeking asylum has a belief or characteristic that a persecutor would want to thwart or punish.
  • The persecutor is aware or could become aware that the applicant has that belief or characteristic.
  • That the persecutor can harm or punish the applicant, and,
  • That the persecutor inclines to penalize the applicant.

The only way that we have found to get USCIS moving on your case is to sue the agency in federal district court and ask a judge to compel USCIS to take action on your case.
