What Is Asylum & Who Qualifies?

Asylum protects people who cannot return to their home country due to persecution based on race, religion, nationality, political opinion, or membership in a particular social group. To apply, you must already be in the U.S. or entering at a port of entry like JFK Airport. Our NYC asylum attorneys help you determine eligibility and build a compelling claim.

 

Types of Asylum in NYC: Humanitarian & Political

New York welcomes asylum seekers from around the world. Rozas Immigration assists with:

  • Humanitarian asylum for individuals fleeing violence, discrimination, or severe harm.

Political asylum for those threatened due to political beliefs or activism. Each case requires strong evidence and clear documentation, which our attorneys help prepare and organize.
