Asylum

Pennsylvania Political Asylum Attorney

Seeking and obtaining political asylum from your home country can be a complicated and involved process. It can take a significant amount of time and effort to prepare affidavits and an application for asylum. In an asylum application, the most important matter to consider is this: everything in the affidavit and application for asylum must be consistent. The government will be looking for any inconsistency to deny your application for political asylum; a strong application can ensure you are protected from the dangerous situation in your country. The Law Office of Michael S. Henry provides thorough and effective legal help to those who fear persecution in their country.

Establishing your case

The U.S. government is aware of political unrest, civil unrest, and others dangers posed to citizens of countries such as Rwanda, Burundi, Somalia, Belarus, and in other parts of the world. Although the political and religious situations in these countries may be unsafe, it must be shown that the specific person seeking asylum would be placed in immediate danger if they were to return to that country. The Law Office of Michael S. Henry can establish a strong case on behalf of our clients. We vigorously strive to prove that our clients have a reasonable fear of returning to their country. When necessary, we may use medical doctors to confirm allegations of physical abuse (such as in FGM, or female genital mutilation) or posttraumatic stress disorder. We will use documentary, supporting witnesses, and testimony on our clients' behalf. Our firm successfully represents clients seeking asylum based upon matters such as the following.

• Political persecution
• Religious persecution
• Sexual orientation persecution
• Racial persecution
• National origin persecution
• Social group persecution
