Political Asylum

Is a form of protection granted to people who have suffered or feared persecution in their countries of origin for race, religion, nationality, membership in a social group, or political opinion. To request political asylum in Florida, United States, you must be physically present and submit Form I-589, Application for Asylum and Withholding of Removal, to the Office of Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). You must also do so within one year of your last entry into the country. The asylum process can be long and complex; this process has several challenges, such as the difficulty of proving persecution or a well-founded fear of persecution, delays in processing applications, limited legal and social resources, and the risk of being detained or deported if the request is denied. Therefore, it is important to have good preparation and advice before applying for political asylum, which is why it is recommended to have professional support.
