Eligibility for Asylum
To be eligible for asylum, you must prove that:
- You are unable to return to your country of origin because you have a well-founded fear of either past or future persecution.
- Your persecution is on account of your race, religion, nationality, membership in a particular social group, or your political opinion.
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 firm, we see the big picture.
