What Asylum Defense in Immigration Court Involves<\/h2>\n

Asylum defense means arguing for asylum as relief during removal proceedings, before an immigration judge. Asylum protects a noncitizen who has suffered persecution, or who has a well-founded fear of it, because of race, religion, nationality, political opinion, or membership in a particular social group. The regulation on past persecution is in 8 CFR 1208.13<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Removal proceedings start when the government files a Notice to Appear with the immigration court (8 CFR 1239.1<\/a>). The immigration judge then decides whether you are removable.<\/p>\n

Defending in court is different from filing an asylum request directly with USCIS, the immigration agency. The court process has its own hearings, deadlines, and government attorney. Hearings follow rules on your right to present evidence and question witnesses (8 CFR 1240.10<\/a>).<\/p>\n

This page is for people who have a Notice to Appear, an upcoming immigration court hearing, or a removal case they must answer.<\/p>\n

What Representation Covers<\/h2>\n

Representation covers the parts of the case that shape whether the judge grants relief. These include case review, filing, evidence, testimony, hearings, and appeals.<\/p>\n
