Affirmative & Defensive Asylum - Silmi Law Firm

Affirmative & Defensive Asylum

Affirmative & DefensiveAsylum

When applying for asylum there are two different asylum applications available which are the affirmative application and the defensive application. The goal for both affirmatives and defensive applications is to provide asylum in the United States. Asylum can help people escape prosecution in their homeland if they return. To qualify the applicant must be considered a refugee.

Things you need to know when applying:

  • If the removal process has not started, then the applicant should use affirmative.
  • And If the process for removal has started applicant should use defensive.
  • To qualify the applicant must be considered a refugee.
  • Applicant must be present in the united states to apply.
  • A denial by the USCIS of the affirmative instantly begins the defensive asylum.
