Asylum

At Pelican Law, we understand the challenges you face when seeking asylum in the United States. Our dedicated team is here to guide you through every step of the process, ensuring your voice is heard and your rights are protected.

What is Asylum?

Asylum is a form of legal protection for individuals who have fled their home countries due to persecution or a well-founded fear of persecution. This protection is available to those who face threats based on:

• Race
• Religion
• Nationality
• Political opinion
• Membership in a particular social group

If you qualify for asylum, you may remain in the United States and build a new life free from fear.
