Who Qualifies for Asylum in the United States?

The U.S. allows anyone seeking protection from religious, racial, national, political, or social persecution to apply for asylum within the country. However, the following parties do not qualify for asylum within the U.S.:

• Anyone in the process of going through immigration court
• Anyone appearing before the Board of Immigration Appeals
• Unaccompanied immigrant children undergoing removal proceedings
• Anyone who has filed with the Asylum Vetting Center by mail
• Anyone who already has an application for asylum pending with the U.S.
• Citizenship and Immigration Services

How do you prove your right to asylum? You can work with our asylum lawyers in Florida to gather evidence of the persecution you faced in your home country. We can submit that evidence alongside your asylum application. We can also represent you in relevant immigration interviews and other legal proceedings to better argue for your right to remain in the country.
