Immigrants may be granted asylum in the United States if they are political refugees who left their native country and who face prosecution because of their beliefs. According to United States Citizenship and Immigration service, this immigration permission doesn’t expire. It entitles the political refuge in order for you to stay in the U.S., apply for a social security card, and obtain an employment authorization document (EAD). It is important to understand the rules for asylum as well as the types of asylum available if you believe you may qualify for this status. Cynthia R. Lopez can help those who live in El Paso with legal issues related to asylum cases for loved ones abroad.
Different Kinds of Asylum
There is only one type of asylum granted to political refugees. However, there are two different kinds of these cases. For example, there are affirmative cases where people who have not had contact with immigration services apply for this status, and there are also asylum claims in removal cases. If you are denied and/or if you are facing deportation and you believe that you should be granted this status, you will need to claim it in your removal case.
