Asylum may be granted to applicants who meet the definition of a refugee: a person unable or unwilling to return to their native country because of persecution, or a well-founded fear of persecution, on account of race, religion, nationality, membership in a particular social group, or political opinion.
Asylum is a difficult form of relief to win. Even when the government believes you are afraid to return, the law only protects fear that is connected to a protected ground. Careful evidence and a detailed personal statement matter enormously.
Border Crossing Law Firm prepares and files the complete affirmative asylum application and includes applications for your spouse and minor children at no additional legal fee.
Border Crossing Law Firm handles this service for a clear flat fee of $1,000/month for 6 months, $6,000 in total. Work on your case begins with the first payment. Government filing fees are separate and not included in the legal fee.
For Form I-765 work permit based on a pending asylum application, USCIS currently reports that most cases complete in about 0.9 months, depending on case type and office (USCIS data, July 15, 2026). USCIS does not publish decision times for the asylum application itself. See current USCIS processing times for your office.
Fee requirements in this area are changing rapidly under 2025 legislation and court challenges. Government filing fees change frequently. We confirm the current amounts with you again at the time of filing, and the firm is not responsible for government fee increases.
After the first payment, the firm e-mails an Attorney-Client Contract for electronic signature, a link to the online intake form, and a checklist of documents to start collecting. Attorney Shahid Haque is available by e-mail, phone, and video throughout the case.
