Asylum Lawyer - Veritas Immigration Law
If you are fleeing persecution in your home country, asylum may provide the safety and stability you need here in the United States. U.S. asylum law gives protection to people who have suffered harm—or who have a real fear of harm—because of their race, religion, nationality, political opinion, or membership in a particular social group.
Having an experienced asylum lawyer by your side ensures that your story is clearly presented, backed by strong evidence, and given the attention it deserves.
At Veritas Immigration Law, we are here to protect your rights and guide you toward building a safer, more secure future in the United States.

Who Qualifies for Asylum?
Not everyone who faces hardship will qualify for asylum.
To be approved, you must show that it is not safe for you to return to your home country—either because you have already suffered persecution or because you face a real risk of future persecution.
This protection is only granted in specific circumstances, making strong evidence and careful preparation essential.
Grounds for asylum include:
- Race or Ethnicity – Discrimination or violence targeting someone because of racial or ethnic background.
- Religion – Harassment, threats, or punishment for religious beliefs or practices.
- Nationality – Persecution connected to a person’s national origin or citizenship.
- Political Opinion – Harm due to actual or perceived political views.
- Membership in a Particular Social Group – This may include gender, sexual orientation, family ties, or other social identities.
An experienced asylum lawyer carefully evaluates whether a case meets these legal criteria and helps applicants prepare testimony and documentation that align with U.S. law.
How to Apply for Asylum in the U.S.
There are two main ways to seek asylum in the United States:
Affirmative Asylum – Filed with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) when the applicant is not in removal proceedings. The applicant must submit Form I-589 within one year of entering the United States, unless exceptions apply.
Defensive Asylum – Requested as a defense against deportation in immigration court. This process requires presenting the case before a judge.
Both processes involve detailed paperwork, supporting evidence, and often an interview or court hearing. An experienced asylum lawyer plays an essential role in guiding clients through each step, preparing them for testimony, and ensuring that deadlines are met.

Main Challenges in Asylum Cases
Asylum law is complicated, and approval depends on how strong your case is and the evidence you can provide. Some of the most common challenges people face include:
- Filing within the strict one-year deadline.
- Gathering documents or witness statements from outside the U.S.
- Proving a clear connection between the persecution and one of the protected grounds under asylum law.
- Responding to opposition from the government in immigration court.
Without the right legal help, these challenges can lead to a denied claim. An experienced asylum lawyer can guide you through each step, strengthen your case, and make sure all important details are clearly presented.
