Refugee claims and asylum seekers

Horizon Immigration Services, specializing in providing affirmative and defensive asylum:

Affirmative & Defensive Asylum

The affirmative application and the defensive application are the two forms of asylum applications that can be submitted. The purpose of both defensive and affirmative action applications is to provide refuge in the US. For those who return home, asylum can help them avoid prosecution. An applicant must be regarded as a refugee in order to be eligible.

How do I apply for an Affirmative Asylum?

A form known as I589 must be submitted by applicants to the USCIS.
The candidate must be in the United States at the time of application.
Within a year after the applicant’s arrival, this must be lodged.

How do I apply for a defensive asylum?

The applicant needs to be involved in the immigration courts’ removal proceedings.
In the event that the applicant asked for affirmative asylum and was referred by the USCIS, their application was already submitted to the immigration judge.
The applicant will present the immigration judge with their defending application.

How do I know which one to file for?

The petitioner should submit an affirmative asylum application if they haven’t started a formal removal procedure.

Things to be aware of before applying:

The applicant should answer in the affirmative if the removal procedure has not yet begun.
Additionally, the applicant should take a defensive stance if the removal procedure has begun.
An applicant must be regarded as a refugee in order to be eligible.
To apply, a person must be in the United States.
The defensive asylum process starts the moment the USCIS rejects the affirmative.
