Miami Asylum Lawyer

Are you being or have you been persecuted in your home country? If so, you can apply for asylum to obtain refugee status in the United States. The USCIS grants asylum for those dealing with persecution based on their religion, political options, race, nationality, and membership in social groups. While the USCIS understands the importance of granting asylum, there is a time limit in place. You only have one year to file for asylum after entering the country unless you meet the circumstances for an extension. With such a short deadline, it’s important to consult with a Miami asylum lawyer to begin the legal process.

The Santos Law Offices has bilingual lawyers and support staff available to help you with your asylum application. Once approved, we can also help you apply for lawful permanent resident status if you wish.
