Gaining Asylum in the United States ◊ Newark, New Jersey, Immigration Lawyers
The U.S. immigration laws provide protection to foreign nationals present in the United States who are fearful that if they return to their home countries they would be persecuted on account of race, religion, nationality, political opinion or membership in a particular social group. In addition, the UN Convention Against Torture (CAT), of which the United States is a party, states explicitly that "No State Party shall ... extradite a person to another State where ... he would be in danger of being subjected to torture." If you are fearful that if you return to your home country you would be persecuted on account of your race, religion, nationality, political opinion or membership in a particular social group, or tortured by the government of your home country for any reason, an attorney can help you exercise your right to stay in the United States.

Who is Eligible for Asylum?
If you can show that you will suffer persecution in your homeland on account of your race, political opinion, your religion, your nationality or your membership in a particular social group, then you are eligible to receive asylum in the United States of America. Unfortunately, just because you have the right to asylum, you can't assume that your right will be recognized. You must take steps to enforce your rights, or you could be returned to your homeland.
If you possess a legitimate claim, our attorneys can help you prove that you would face persecution or torture if forced to return to your homeland. We can help you enforce your rights and stay safely in the United States, even if you have been convicted of a crime.
