If a person enters the United States, he or she may seek asylum in the United States if the person can prove a well founded fear of persecution if they are to return to their home country. The well founded fear must be based on their race, religion, group affiliation or political opinion. In order to qualify to seek asylum, the person must apply within one year of their most recent arrival in the United States. The United States government does not charge an application fee to seek asylum. The process involves filling out an application which describes in detail the feared persecution, providing as much corroborating evidence as possible, and then subsequently a hearing is scheduled before a United States asylum officer. The application also simultaneously applies for witholding of removal. There are other considerations and requirements when applying so it it best to seek legal counsel. The Law Office of Marybeth P. Rowen, LLC provides fee-based assistance and representation to asylum seekers in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Delaware and will attend the hearing on behalf of the asylum seeker.
