It’s not just about completing legal documents; asylum attorneys have a lot of other duties to fulfill. They ensure your best chance at being granted protection, whether to avoid removal or through humanitarian immigration.
The affirmative asylum procedure is used with foreign nationals who are not in removal proceedings. The US allows a person to file for affirmative asylum while they are inside the United States if they meet the eligibility requirements. The process is conducted through United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS).
At Flagship Law, our team offers support with filing Form I-589 (Application for Asylum and for Withholding of Removal), preparing supporting documentation, and writing personal statements.
An asylum attorney can also prepare you for the affirmative asylum interview. Our team will make sure you know what to expect so you can answer questions carefully and honestly.
Defensive asylum is very different from affirmative asylum. You become eligible for defensive asylum if you are in removal proceedings in an immigration court. The case is heard before the immigration judge rather than through USCIS.
Our asylum attorney will present a strong legal defense for you. We take care of the entire application process, gather evidence on your behalf, and present your case to establish your right to asylum. We may also look into other forms of relief to prevent you from being deported.
Sometimes your unique situation may reveal alternative immigration protections, and the team makes sure all those options are identified.
Asylum applicants may be eligible to apply for permission to work in the United States while their asylum case is pending. This permission is requested by filing Form I‑765 (Application for Employment Authorization).
In most cases, you may apply for asylum‑based work authorization 150 days after you file Form I‑589 (Application for Asylum and for Withholding of Removal), as long as no decision has been made on your asylum application. However, U.S. immigration authorities cannot approve a work permit until at least 180 days have passed from the date your asylum application was filed.
These rules are strictly enforced and are tied to the asylum process itself. Certain actions—such as missing an interview, requesting delays, or filing incomplete or incorrect paperwork—can stop or reset the waiting period and significantly delay your ability to work. Filing too early or making errors may also result in denial.
An experienced asylum attorney can help ensure your application is filed correctly, deadlines are met, and your eligibility for work authorization is protected throughout the process.
Asylum cases rely on the evidence provided in an applicant’s case. At Flagship Law, we build your case from the ground up by submitting personal statements, country condition reports, witness statements and other supporting documents.
