Asylum in the United States
Asylum is a legal protection granted to individuals who have suffered persecution or have a well-founded fear of persecution in their home country due to:
If granted asylum, you will have the right to remain in the U.S., apply for work authorization, and eventually apply for permanent residency. However, asylum applications must be filed within one year of arrival in the U.S., with limited exceptions.
Steps in the Asylum Process
This must be submitted within one year of arrival unless you qualify for an exception.
If approved, you receive asylum status. If denied, your case may be referred to Immigration Court.
You will be required to provide fingerprints and background information.
You may apply for work authorization 150 days after filing your asylum application.
You must present evidence and testimony supporting your claim.
One year after receiving asylum, you may apply for lawful permanent residency.
Deportation Defense & Immigration Court Representation
If you are facing removal (deportation) from the U.S., you have legal rights, and a strong defense can prevent deportation. Cambridge Immigration Law provides aggressive representation in Immigration Court and appeals before the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) and federal courts.
Common Deportation Defense Strategies
If you fear persecution or torture in your home country, you may qualify for relief.
If you have past immigration violations, we can seek a waiver to allow you to remain in the U.S.
Certain non-citizens, including lawful permanent residents and undocumented individuals with longstanding ties in the U.S., may qualify for relief from removal.
In some cases, we can argue for administrative closure or deferred action.
If you qualify for a Green Card through family sponsorship or employment, we can help you seek relief.
Immigration Bond Hearings
If you or a loved one has been detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), we can help secure release through a bond hearing. A judge will determine eligibility based on ties to the U.S., criminal history, and risk factors.
