Benefits of Asylum

After you are granted asylum, you will be able to apply for benefits related to immigration as well as receive government benefits and services. For example, your spouse and children will be entitled to "derivative" grant of asylum. If they were included in your asylum application and they are already in the U.S. they will automatically receive asylum. If they are overseas or not included in your application, you may file a petition to obtain asylum for them.

Other benefits of asylum include:

  • Access to Refugee Resettlement Agency (RRA) which helps you adjust to life in the U.S.
  • Automatic eligibility to work in the U.S. without an Employment Authorization Document (EAD).
  • Ability to apply for a Social Security card.
  • Ability to obtain an ID card or driver's license.
  • Ability to apply for a green card 1 year after asylum is granted.
  • and more

Am I Eligible for Asylum?

When you request asylum, you must also be able to prove that you are in danger of being harmed or prosecuted. At Garcia, Miranda, Gonzalez-Rua, P.A., our team truly cares about your safety and your future and we are here to help provide you with sound legal advice. We are qualified to review all of the details of your immigration case and analyze the best course of action for your asylum request.

If you have been persecuted for any of the following, you may be eligible for asylum:

  • Political opinion
  • Religion
  • Social group affiliations
  • Race
  • Nationality

What Counts as Persecution?

In immigration law, the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) does not provide specifics on what persecution actually is except for in a situation that involves a “coercive population control program” where the individual is “forced to abort a pregnancy or to undergo involuntary sterilization”. Otherwise, persecution, means that the applicant must be able to prove that the threats are so severe they will occur no matter what part of the country they are living in; it is a nationwide threat and they cannot avoid it by relocating to another part of the country.

Below are some examples of persecution:

  • Discrimination
  • Threats of harm
  • Mental, emotional, or psychological harm
  • Physical violence
  • Violations of human rights
  • Disproportionate punishment for a crime
  • Unlawful detention
  • Torture

Client Testimonials

  • ...muy recomendable

    “Muy profesional, me gusta su forma de llevar mi caso, muy recomendable”

    Aureila Z.

  • True Professional!

    “Mr. Tavares handled my case with much professionalism, competence and exceptional ethics. He was patient, encouraging and dedicated from the minute I contacted him, until the very end of my Naturalization process. Lawyers like him make all the difference and I want to thank him once again for guiding/representing me and most importantly, handling my case with the assertiveness, yet compassion that one needs through uncertain and intimidating moments, as are Immigration proceedings. I recommend Mr. Tavares and the GM&G team without any hesitation!”

  • Caso de redecidencia aprobado...

    “Caso de redecidencia aprobado: Acudí al Abogado Adonis por recomendación de un conocido. Tenía un poco de temor acerca de mi caso. La diferencia al pagar un paralegal con esta oficina quizás fue un poco más alto a nivel monetario, pero la tranquilidad que un abogado como Adonis te represente y este contigo en una entrevista es la tranquilidad más grande del mundo. Nunca sera costoso tu tema migratorio. Que este en tu entrevista acompañandote y te pueda apoyar cuando las cosas se colocan dificiles frente a un agente de migración no tiene precio. Los recomiendo 100% por su honestidad y profesionalismo. A su equipo de trabajo, a su ayudante Ana muchísimas gracias por su atención.”

    Roger A.

  • Attentive and efficient immigration attorney

    “It was a pleasure to work with Mr. Taveras. As young newly weds, my husband and I were unaware of the complex immigration process we were facing. However, Mr. Taveras and his team made our experience smooth and efficient from the moment we walked into our very first consultation all the way through. Just five and a half months later my husband obtained his permanent residency card. We definitely recommend the GM&G offices. Thank you Javier for being so attentive to our case, we greatly appreciate it!”

    Melissa C
