Seeking Asylum in the United States

At Heydasch Law, PLLC, we understand that seeking asylum in the United States often comes at a time of great fear, uncertainty, and need. If you or someone you love has fled persecution, violence, or threats in your home country, we are here to help. Our experienced immigration attorneys proudly represent clients across all 50 states in navigating the U.S. asylum process with care, professionalism, and a deep commitment to protecting your rights.

Asylum offers individuals who are already in the United States — or arriving at its borders — the opportunity to remain safely in the country if they meet the legal definition of a “refugee.” This definition, adopted under U.S. law through the Refugee Act of 1980, includes those who have suffered or fear future harm based on:

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

With asylum status, individuals may legally reside in the U.S., obtain work authorization, apply for a green card after one year, and eventually pursue U.S. citizenship. It also allows you to petition for certain family members to join you in the U.S., offering hope and stability for your loved ones.

The asylum application process must generally be completed within one year of arrival in the United States, though limited exceptions exist. Whether your case is filed affirmatively with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) or defensively in immigration court, our team will guide you through every step with clarity and compassion.

We help prepare and submit Form I-589 (Application for Asylum and Withholding of Removal), gather supporting evidence, and advocate for you before immigration authorities and judges. In complex situations, we also explore alternative forms of relief such as withholding of removal or protection under the Convention Against Torture (CAT).

Navigating the asylum system can feel overwhelming, especially when so much is at stake. At Heydasch Law, we act as your trusted partner — offering personalized legal advice, preparing your case thoroughly, and representing you confidently in court when needed. We believe in treating each client with dignity and respect, and we are committed to helping you protect yourself and your family.
