Protecting Your Right to Seek Asylum in the U.S.
At Lumina Immigration Law, PC, we provide strong legal representation for individuals facing removal proceedings who are seeking asylum as a defense against deportation. If you fear returning to your home country due to persecution, our firm is here to guide you through the complex immigration court process and fight for your right to remain in the United States.
When Does an Asylum Case Become Defensive?
Asylum can be sought in two ways: affirmatively (through USCIS) or defensively (in immigration court). A case becomes defensive asylum when an individual is in removal proceedings and must apply for asylum before an immigration judge (IJ) as a form of protection from deportation. This happens in situations such as:
✔ You were apprehended at the border and placed in removal proceedings after passing a credible fear interview (CFI).
✔ You were denied asylum by USCIS and your case was referred to immigration court.
✔ You were placed in removal proceedings due to lack of legal status or another immigration violation, and asylum is your best available defense.
How We Help With Defensive Asylum Cases
If you are in deportation proceedings, seeking asylum may be a critical form of relief. Our firm can:
✅ Prepare and file Form I-589 (Application for Asylum, Withholding of Removal & CAT Relief).
✅ Build a strong asylum case by collecting evidence, expert reports, and witness statements.
✅ Represent you in all immigration court hearings, including Master Calendar Hearings (MCH) and Individual Hearings (IH).
✅ Advocate for your right to remain in the U.S. by demonstrating past persecution or fear of future persecution.
✅ Appeal an immigration judge’s decision if necessary and explore other relief options if asylum is not granted.
