It is not a separate application you file first with USCIS. The claim is made on Form I-589, which must be complete, signed, and supported with evidence (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ecfr.gov\/on\/2026-10-20\/title-8\/section-1208.3\">8 CFR 1208.3<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>Asylum often sits alongside other relief. An immigration judge can decide asylum and withholding together, whether or not asylum is granted (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ecfr.gov\/on\/2026-10-20\/title-8\/section-1208.16\">8 CFR 1208.16<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>Our team handles these claims as part of removal defense, from the first hearing forward.<\/p>\n<h2>Who this service is for<\/h2>\n<p>This service is for people facing removal proceedings who want to know whether asylum can be a defense. You may be a fit if:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>You received a Notice to Appear, which lists the charges against you and the law they rely on (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.law.cornell.edu\/uscode\/text\/8\/1229\">8 U.S.C. 1229<\/a>).<\/li>\n<li>You have a hearing date in Broward County or a nearby South Florida court.<\/li>\n<li>Your spouse or child may qualify to be included in your asylum claim.<\/li>\n<li>An immigration judge denied your asylum claim, and you&#8217;re weighing an appeal.<\/li>\n<li>You want to understand the case before you decide what to do next.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>What the representation includes<\/h2>\n<p>Representation runs from the first hearing through any appeal that follows. The work includes:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Reviewing your Notice to Appear, charging papers, and prior filings to find deadlines and procedural problems.<\/li>\n<li>Preparing Form I-589 with your personal statement, supporting documents, and an evidence list.<\/li>\n<li>Gathering proof, such as identity records and country-condition materials. Your own testimony may be enough if it is credible (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ecfr.gov\/on\/2026-10-20\/title-8\/section-1208.13\">8 CFR 1208.13<\/a>).<\/li>\n<li>Preparing you to testify, including direct questions and likely cross-examination topics.<\/li>\n<li>Filing Form EOIR-28 to enter an appearance, which makes the lawyer the practitioner of record (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ecfr.gov\/on\/2026-10-20\/title-8\/section-1003.17\">8 CFR 1003.17<\/a>).<\/li>\n<li>Appearing at hearings and responding to government filings.<\/li>\n<li>Family filings for eligible relatives, and review of appeal options to the Board of Immigration Appeals (the Board) after an unfavorable decision.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>How the process works, step by step<\/h2>\n<p>Start by telling us your court, your next hearing date, and any deadlines you know about. Then the office reviews your file and builds the case in clear stages.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Contact.<\/strong> Reach the office by contact form, phone, or WhatsApp.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Paid consultation.<\/strong> A lawyer reviews your papers and explains possible defenses. Consultations are paid, and the office confirms the fee when you book.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Engagement.<\/strong> If you hire the firm, the lawyer files Form EOIR-28 and document collection begins.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Application.<\/strong> The Form I-589, declarations, and evidence index are drafted before the court&#8217;s filing deadline.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Hearings.<\/strong> The judge takes testimony and evidence. A decision may come at the hearing or later in writing.<\/li>\n<li><strong>After the decision.<\/strong> An appeal to the Board may be possible within the deadline stated in the decision.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Timing starts early. The first hearing cannot be set sooner than 10 days after your Notice to Appear is served, unless you ask in writing for an earlier date (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.law.cornell.edu\/uscode\/text\/8\/1229\">8 U.S.C. 1229<\/a>). Court calendars vary, so your lawyer gives a timeline after reviewing your papers.<\/p>\n<h2>Deadlines that shape an asylum case<\/h2>\n<p>Two deadlines shape most asylum cases: the filing rule and the appeal window. Other dates matter too.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>One year to file.<\/strong> Asylum generally must be filed within one year of your last arrival in the United States, or April 1, 1997, whichever is later. Exceptions exist, and the judge decides whether one applies (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ecfr.gov\/on\/2026-10-20\/title-8\/section-1208.4\">8 CFR 1208.4<\/a>).<\/li>\n<li><strong>10 days to appeal.<\/strong> Generally, the Notice of Appeal (Form EOIR-26) must be filed with the Board within 10 calendar days of the Immigration Judge&#8217;s decision.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Frivolous claims.<\/strong> Knowingly filing a frivolous asylum application, after the required notice, can permanently bar benefits.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Early contact matters because each date runs from a specific event.
