Protection for people who fear persecution

Asylum lawyer in Philadelphia

Asylum protects people with a well-founded fear of persecution in their home country because of race, religion, nationality, membership in a particular social group, or political opinion.

People granted asylum can stay and work in the U.S., can bring a spouse and children under 21, and can later apply for a green card and citizenship.
