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.

New York welcomes asylum seekers from around the world. Rozas Immigration assists with:
- Humanitarian asylum for individuals fleeing violence, discrimination, or severe harm.
