¿Necesito estar en los estados unidos para aplicar por asilo?
La gente a veces nos pregunta si deben estar en Estados Unidos para aplicar para asilo y la respuesta es sí, uno puede pedir asilo una vez que cruza la frontera de Estados Unidos, pero sí debe estar en el país. Recuerden que el asilo es para protegerlo de un peligro que corre en su país de origen. Si usted se encuentra en su país de origen, no puede pedir asilo a los Estados Unidos, a menos que esté aquí. Si está en otro país, Estados Unidos le solicita que pida asilo en el país donde se encuentra. El asilo no es una herramienta para lograr inmigrar, sino para proteger a alguien que ya está en el país y que al regresar no sufra una tragedia al regresar a su país. Es un tema un poco complejo, pero básicamente tiene que estar aquí para presentar la aplicación. Eso es lo que debe saber. Si tiene alguna pregunta sobre éste o cualquier otro tema, por favor llámenos.
{"@context": https://schema.org,"@type": "FAQPage","mainEntity": [{"@type": "Question","name": "I received asylum; Can I apply for a green card or citizenship?","acceptedAnswer": {"@type": "Answer","text": "People that are here on asylum, a lot of times, ask whether they can become permanent residents or if they can in some other way work towards getting citizenship. You certainly can. Asylum by itself is technically not an immigrant type of a situation. The United States is basically saying that they’re going to allow you to stay in the United States, with the understanding that, if the persecution or the danger that you face in your country dissipates or is alleviated, you’re going to return to your country.
However, while you’re here, you can make any other type of application that you want. For example, people that are here on asylum fall in love and want to marry someone, and they can apply to adjust their status to get a marriage visa. There are ways to become either a permanent resident or a citizen in the United States when you’re here through asylum. It’s not a direct process from asylum to green card, to citizenship, but there are certainly ways.
We can work with you to see if someone might be able to sponsor you while you’re here. That can be time consuming as well – it depends on your circumstances – but there are certainly different ways that you can transition from being here on asylum, to getting a green card, to potentially becoming a citizen of the United States. For this or any other questions, feel free to give us a call. We’d be happy to discuss it with you.

Client Reviews
“In October 2015, My husband was a passenger in a horrible car accident and was hospitalized for two months. After being in ICU for a little over a month , I reached out to Mr. Corzo and He met me in the hospital a day after. Since my husband was still unconscious and in ICU I decided to hire Mr.Corzo for Davids personal injury and workers compensation case. From the moment I met Mr.Corzo he was very emphatic and attentive to all my questions and concerns. Anytime I would email him with a question he would get back to me right away. I would even email/text his paralegal Denise after hours if I had any questions and she would get back to me within a hour. Mr. Corzo made sure he fully explained and went over everything with us before we made any decisions. Mr. Corzo went out of his way to make sure David was taken care of. After my husband was released from the hospital, Mr. Corzo called and checked up on David and made sure he was getting the care he needed. I truly believe Mr. Corzo went above and beyond for my husband in winning both cases. We are extremely blessed with the outcome and would highly recommend him to anyone that may need a lawyer. Due to my husbands injuries we will need to apply for disability, Mr.Corzo offered to help us fill out the paper work and make sure everything is done correctly. We can’t THANK him enough for all that he has done for our family. #Thankful”– David and Jennifer Alvarez
