Asylum

The United States government grants protection in the form of asylum to individuals and families who suffer or fear suffering persecution in their home country. The asylum process is complex and requires providing substantial supporting information. Immigration and asylum lawyer Mustafo Davlatov has over a decade of immigration law experience that includes extensive work on behalf of clients seeking asylum. Based in Brooklyn, New York, Davlatov Law Firm, P.C. serves clients worldwide.

Dedicated Asylum Lawyer with a Client-Focused Approach

He has always focused his practice on helping individuals and families get assistance from an immigration lawyer who understands their roots, culture, and language. As an immigrant himself, Mustafo has special insight into the concerns and issues faced by his clients.

Mustafo believes it is important for clients to be able to communicate in their own language whenever possible, rather than relying on translation services.

Seeking Asylum in the United States

Federal immigration laws provide the special protections and privileges of asylum for individuals and families fleeing actual or threatened violence or facing a denial of basic human or civil rights in their home country. Persecution may be due to race, religion, nationality, political opinion, or membership in a particular social group.

There are three ways of applying for asylum in the United States:

  • The affirmative asylum process through the USCIS (United States Citizenship and Immigration Services) is a process for individuals who are already in the U.S. to seek asylum.
  • A person in expedited removal proceedings may indicate an intention to apply for asylum and be referred to USCIS for a credible fear screening.
  • Asylum may also be requested as a removal defense in immigration court proceedings with the Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR).

An applicant may include their spouse and minor children who are physically present in the U.S. as dependents on an affirmative or defensive asylum application. A child must be under the age of 21 years and unmarried to be included.

Regardless of which process fits your circumstances, a request for asylum involves a complicated process and must be supported by substantial documentation relating to persecution, threats, or deprivation of rights. To navigate the complex system and provide the necessary factual evidence, it is important to get assistance from an experienced asylum lawyer. Attempting to represent yourself in the process can result in serious mistakes that undermine your ability to receive the protections of asylum.

Mustafo Davlatov has extensive experience and success as an asylum lawyer. He represents clients in asylum applications and proceedings before the immigration courts and USCIS. Removal defense that includes a request for asylum is also part of his practice.
