Refuge & Asylum Protecting Your Interests in Immigration Issues

Irvine Refuge & Asylum Lawyer

Caring Advocacy Focused on Your Goals - Call (949) 478-4963

Asylum and refuge provide protection for those who have a well-founded fear of persecution in their country of origin. Many people refer to asylum as "political asylum" although asylum is not solely granted for political reasons. Generally, asylum is granted when you are currently in the United States and certain time restrictions apply. Being a refugee, however, is generally granted when you are outside the United States, either by applying at certain United States Embassies or through the UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR).

As an immigrant himself, Attorney Yekrangi understands the hurdles you face and has a passion for helping people through their immigration matters. He can look at every implication of your case, not just the narrow scope of the immediate problem. At our Irvine law firm, we see the big picture.

What Sets Us Apart From The Rest?

Yekrangi & Associates is here to help you get the results you need with a team you can trust.

Eligibility for Asylum

To be eligible for asylum, you must prove that 1) you are unable to return to your country of origin because you have a well-founded fear of either past or future persecution; and that 2) your persecution is on account of your race, religion, nationality, membership in a particular social group, or your political opinion. These five grounds can be further broken down into sub-groups, such as sexual orientation, gender, and other minority groups.

Any person inside the United States, regardless of legal status, may apply for asylum so long as the request is timely. Have more questions about obtaining asylum status? Contact Yekrangi & Associates today.
