Finding Freedom From Persecution
As various forms of harassment, intimidation and persecution occur throughout the world, a significant amount of people come to the United States every year in the search for peace and safety for themselves and their families. However, the country does not grant asylum to everyone.
If you have fled to the US to seek asylum from persecution in your home country, make sure you work with an immigration attorney who can help you through the process to give you the best chance of staying in the country and avoiding deportation.
At Metcalf & Associates, P.C., we have 25 years of legal experience and a commitment to helping our clients obtain the legal results they need. We understand that the immigration process is extremely complex and the language barriers can make it difficult to obtain asylum. We can help you. Our lawyers represent clients in Schaumburg, IL, West Dundee, Aurora and the surrounding Illinois area.
Obtaining Asylum For Refugees
Lawyers from our firm can help you through the process of obtaining asylum in the United States:
- Filing your application: To obtain asylum, you will need to show that you are facing persecution in your home country as a result of your race, nationality, membership in a social group or religious or political affiliation.
- Representing you at hearings: Our lawyers will appear with you at all of the hearings to help you obtain asylum.
- Obtaining asylum for your family: We can help you explore the option of bringing over your family members from your home country, as well.
We understand the importance of reuniting with loved ones during the asylum process. Our team can help you in applying for derivative asylum benefits for your immediate family members, ensuring that they, too, can find safety in the United States. There are several ways that the U.S. allows for reunification of immediate family members and our firm is well versed on the laws and pathways available to you.
