The U.S. grants asylum to some people who believe they would be in danger if they were to return to their home country due to their political beliefs, religious beliefs, or ethnic origin. If you fear persecution or worse, you can petition for asylum and stay here! However, you must be able to prove that your fear is credible, and getting approval can be difficult. There is a lengthy application process and a required interview (with either a Department of Homeland Security official or federal immigration court representative), and many applicants are denied. That’s why you need a legal advocate on your side who understands you and who can give you the best chances at acceptance! Galina Dorris, a dedicated law clerk and compassionate advocate at Equal Justice Law Group, is well-versed in the obstacles you face; her unique background as a former refugee, coupled with her extensive experience in immigration law, positions her to offer the legal guidance, empathy, and support you need. She can assist you in seeking asylum or defending against removal if proceedings have begun. Contact Equal Justice Law Group today for a consultation to explore your next steps!
