Political Asylum Series: India

by

Political Asylum – Part I

Spotlight: India

I’m going to introduce a new segment to my blog readers.  Many current and potential clients contact me or my office to discuss whether or not they have a legitimate claim to asylum in the United States.  I am going to start a series on this blog to discuss previous asylum applications and the applicant’s country of origin so you can use these posts to help yourself determine if asylum is a possibility for you

This asylum post will cover asylum applications where the applicant is of Indian origin.

Political Asylum Requirements

Foreign nationals in the US who are unable or unwilling to return to their home country because of persecution or a well-founded fear of persecution on account of race, religion, nationality, or membership in a particular social or political group may obtain asylum.

Examples of Successful US Asylum Cases Made by Indian Nationals

  • A married women who contracted HIV and fears her family will disown her or force her to get a divorce;
  • A couple who had an interfaith marriage, Hindu and Sikh;
  • Tamil males between the ages of 15 and 45;
  • A son whose father made a political speech which resulted in the father being beat up by the Bhindrawala Tiger Force (BTF); and
  • A Sikh man accused of supporting Sikh separatists and beaten and arrested by the Indian police.

We can help you win your asylum claim and obtain permanent residency (green card) in the US

Many Indian nationals have credible fear of persecution in India that can lead to an asylum approval.  However, most asylum cases are denied due to applicants failure to articulate their fear and document events that have led to that fear.  We have successfully helped many Indian clients and we are familiar with many circumstances that can lead to a successful asylum claim.  In our experience, most asylum applications are adjudicated in 3-6 months.  It is best, but not mandatory, to file your asylum application within the first 12 months of your entry to the US and while you have a valid immigration status such as a visitor or work visa.   We understand the fear and the pain you’re going through and we’ll make sure that your asylum process is as painless as possible.
