Frequently Asked Questions
Get answers to common questions about the asylum process.
The difference is mainly how you entered the United States and if you had contact with Customs and Border Patrol CBP/ICE Immigration and Customs Enforcement. If you enter the United States with a valid Passport from your home country and a US Visa to enter the United States for example a Tourist Visa or Student Visa then after arriving in the United States you decide to apply for Asylum because you fear returning to your home country this is Affirmative asylum.
A particular social group is a group of people that have become more visible to their persecutors and therefore more likely to be pursued and suffer persecution.
YOU WILL BE GRANTED LEGAL PERMANENT RESIDENCY IN THE UNITED STATES! If you win your asylum claim, your immediate family members who are included in your application automatically win too and get residency as well.

After 5 years you can apply for Citizenship.

Response from Claxton Law
Thank you! We are here to serve you!
My experience with attorney Diane was beyond than great! She prepared me for my asylum interview and I felt so confident with her! But what I appreciated the most is that she encouraged me to do my interview in English. I am from Venezuela and I know how to speak in English but I wasn't feeling so sure... so she helped me to feel confident, to improve some things and to do the whole interview without a translator. And guess what? My asylum was approved!!! If you are thinking about hiring her to do your legal or migration process, she's the one! Trust me :)
