Asylum Attorney In Fort Worth, Texas
Under Persecution In Your Home Country? Asylum Might Be The Answer
If you or someone you love has faced persecution or serious threats in your home country—or if you have any fears of harm due to the possibility of being forced to return—you may be eligible to apply for asylum in the United States, regardless of your current immigration status. This opportunity provides a chance for safety and a new beginning in a country that values human rights and freedom.
To qualify for asylum, the persecution you have experienced must be directly tied to your nationality, ethnicity, religion, political opinions, or membership in a particular social group. As part of the application process, you'll be required to provide a detailed sworn statement that explains the circumstances that led you to leave your home country and why you believe returning would put you at serious risk of harm.
Navigating this complex situation can undoubtedly be overwhelming and stressful, but you don’t have to face it alone. Arzoo Connor, a dedicated professional based in Fort Worth, Texas, works closely with individuals seeking asylum and is deeply committed to helping you present your case clearly, thoroughly, and effectively. With her guidance, you can feel more confident in your situation and the steps you need to take.

Affirmative Asylum Proceedings
Foreign nationals who are physically present in the United States—or who arrive at a U.S. port of entry—have the right to apply for asylum by submitting Form I-589, the Application for Asylum and for Withholding of Removal.
Timing is important. In most cases, you must file within one year of your most recent arrival in the U.S. If more than a year has passed, you may still qualify if you can show that your situation has changed or that extraordinary circumstances kept you from applying sooner. If you believe this might apply to you, it’s important to speak with an immigration attorney who can help explain your options.
Asylum cases often take time to process. After your application is filed, you may be eligible to request a two-year work authorization while your case is pending. Because asylum applications are closely reviewed by the government, careful preparation matters.
If you’re considering asylum, contact ARC Legal Services, LLC in Fort Worth, Texas, to schedule a consultation and begin the process.
Defensive Asylum Proceedings
If you’ve been placed in removal proceedings, you still have the option to apply for asylum by submitting Form I-589. This is known as the defensive asylum process and is different from applying directly through USCIS.
In a defensive asylum case, you will appear before an immigration judge. The judge will hear your testimony, consider any witnesses, and review the documents and evidence you provide. You’ll also be asked questions about your past experiences and your fear of returning to your home country. In many cases, the judge gives a decision at the conclusion of the hearing.
If your application is approved, you may apply for a green card after one year of continuous physical presence in the United States.
Facing immigration court can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to go through it alone. ARC Legal Services, LLC in Fort Worth, Texas, can help you prepare your case and guide you through each step of the process. Contact our firm today to discuss your situation.
