Political Asylum is a protection mechanism some nations offer to people who have left their home countries as a political refugee. The United States offers two types of asylum, affirmative and defensive. In both cases, the applicant’s eligibility will have to be determined by immigration authorities.
To apply for Affirmative Asylum, you need to be physically present in the United States. Regardless of how you entered the country or your current immigration status, you can apply if you meet the eligibility criteria.
Defensive Asylum can be requested by those individuals who are at risk of being removed from the United States. An immigrant can be placed in removal proceedings after being caught trying to enter the country illegally or due to immigration violations.
If you want to apply for political asylum, we recommend consulting Alice Antonovsky, immigration specialist.

- You need to pass the “credible fear test” to get asylum in the United States. In order to do this, you must show proof of the persecution or potential persecution in your home country. In addition to your file, an immigration authority will interview you before making a decision.
- If your application is denied, the case will be referred to Immigration Court before a judge who will hear your testimony and make an independent decision. If your asylum is denied again, you can still appeal to the BIA, U.S. Court of Appeals and U.S. Supreme Court.
- If you are granted asylum in the US, you will have to request a travel document (Form I-131) before going abroad to guarantee your ability to reenter. If the place you intend to visit is your home country, it may hurt your asylum status if it is determined that you lied about the persecution risk.
As an illegal immigrant, I hired Alice Antonovsky to help me fix my migratory situation. I had followed some bad advice in the past and really wanted to come clean with immigration authorities. Ms. Antonovsky was very helpful and helped me understand there was still a chance for my family to stay together. Thank you!
I escaped a violent past from a very unstable family a few years ago. Coming to the United States was my survival option. Being here, I met people who helped me out in different ways. They advised me to get a professional assessment on my immigration situation. Luckily, I went to Alice for help and she did not disappoint. I can absolutely recommend her legal services.
I contacted Alice Antonovsky when I needed help understanding my migratory status. She helped me find the most suitable program to apply for and I am now a legal permanent resident. Thank you for your help!

I came to America on a valid B-2 tourist visa and overstayed. After contacting the experienced immigration attorney Alice Antonovsky and meeting with her she advised me to file an application for political asylum.The application was based on past persecution by the Family Planning Commission, who forced me to undergo abortion when I was in China. That was devastating! With so many success stories, Alice surely knows what she's doing. She filed the application for asylum on my behalf and submitted supplemental documents. Thanks to Alice, we succeeded!”

Being gay in a homophobic society, I didn't have a normal childhood. I suffered from discrimination, abuse from the police and rape. Incredibly traumatic! Eventually, I came to America 10 years ago. Since I was terrified to go back to Mexico and be killed, I came to immigration lawyer Alice Antonovsky. She advised me to apply for political asylum. Thanks to her firm’s preparation, my asylum was approved. They saved my life!”

While I was in Zimbabwe, my home country, I took part in democracy support demonstrations. Persecution occurred due to my political opinion. I was scared to go back home to Zimbabwe, fearing persecution and death. While I was in the U. S. on a tourist visa, I contacted immigration lawyer Alice Antonovsky. She advised to apply for political asylum and helped me prepare the application. She also did some research pertaining to my claim, and the type of persecution that political activists suffer in Zimbabwe. She’s so profesional! My asylum case was approved! I was thrilled!”
