The Importance of Acting Quickly

From the moment you step foot on United States soil, you have one year to apply for asylum. The government strictly enforces this deadline, so the sooner you contact an immigration lawyer, the sooner you can get the help you and your family need. If you wait, you may risk your chances for being granted permanent asylum. If you have already missed the one-year deadline, contact me, I will listen to why you did not apply on time, and will see if there is an exception for you.

With good planning, and by making sure everything is done right the first time, you increase your chances of approval. You only get one chance at a first impression, and we can help you improve your chances by making sure your application is prepared correctly. By failing to take the right steps, you run the risk of deportation.
