Political Asylum

The Law Offices of Attorney Cindy Paul, located in New Jersey, USA, provide legal representation for individuals seeking asylum or withholding of removal. An individual may qualify for these protections if they can demonstrate that they were persecuted or have a well-founded fear of persecution in their home country due to their religion, political opinion, nationality, race, or membership in a particular social group. Additionally, those who fear torture may also be eligible for relief.

The criteria for asylum eligibility are complex and subject to frequent changes, with certain categories, such as the definition of a “particular social group,” often being heavily litigated in federal courts.

Being granted asylum is a transformative event. Once granted, an individual can then apply for adjustment of status (Green Card) in the United States. The process of seeking asylum is challenging, and the likelihood of success is significantly increased when represented by an experienced attorney. The Law Offices of Cindy Paul specialize in representing asylum seekers before immigration courts.

If you are seeking expert legal guidance on obtaining asylum and eventually U.S. citizenship, the team at the Law Offices of Cindy Paul is ready to assist you. We are committed to helping you navigate through your options and support your aspirations of becoming an American citizen.
