Asylum

Minnesota Immigration and Asylum Attorney

Under U.S. law, a person who is under threat of persecution in their home country due to religious beliefs, race, ethnicity, political opinions, or membership in a particular social group may apply for asylum and receive refugee status. In addition, victims of human trafficking and domestic violence may be eligible for temporary or permanent visas under the provisions of the Victims of Trafficking and Violence Protection Act (VTVPA) and the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA). The U.S. also offers temporary protected status to persons of certain nations that have suffered natural disasters, civil war, or civil unrest.
