At our law firm, we are dedicated to defending the rights of those seeking asylum in the United States. Fleeing persecution, violence, and life-threatening situations in their home countries, asylum seekers deserve compassion, understanding, and a fair legal process.
At the Law Offices of Guvenc Acarkan, our experienced asylum attorneys are dedicated to helping individuals and families escape persecution and build new lives in safety. We understand the urgency and sensitivity of asylum matters, and we are committed to guiding you through every stage of the process with compassion, precision, and unwavering advocacy.
We begin by conducting a thorough evaluation of your circumstances to determine whether you qualify for asylum under one or more of the five legally recognized grounds:
Race
Religion
Nationality
Political opinion
Membership in a particular social group
We take the time to understand the full context of your situation and advise you on the strength of your case and the best strategy moving forward.
Success in an asylum application depends on the quality and credibility of the evidence presented. Our legal team will work closely with you to:
Collect and organize documentary evidence (e.g., affidavits, medical records, country conditions reports)
Draft a compelling personal declaration outlining your experiences and fear of return
Prepare you for your asylum interview with USCIS or merits hearing before the immigration judge
Ensure that all forms and submissions are accurate, complete, and timely
If your asylum case proceeds to a hearing, our attorneys will stand by your side and vigorously represent you. We will:
Present your testimony clearly and effectively
Cross-examine government witnesses and respond to objections
Submit legal briefs and memoranda of law as needed
Persuasively argue your eligibility for protection under U.S. asylum laws
A denial is not the end of the road. Should your initial application be rejected, our firm will:
Review the record for procedural or substantive legal errors
File an appeal before the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA)
Pursue judicial review in federal court where appropriate
Explore alternative forms of relief, including withholding of removal or protection under the Convention Against Torture (CAT)
Together, we can turn your vision of a safer future into reality.
