Skilled Legal Assistance In Application For Asylum And Withholding Of Removal (Deportation) Issues In California, Utah, and Idaho

Our dedicated immigration lawyers give you the facts and options you need to make sound decisions about the forms of relief based upon fear of persecution, harm or torture in the native country, which include:

  • Asylum — in which an individual must prove to the court that he or she has a legitimate fear of harm if returned to the native country.
  • Withholding of removal — similar to asylum, in that a person must show that there is a genuine threat to his or her life or freedom on the basis of race, religion, nationality, political opinion, or membership in a social group.

Withholding of removal is a mandatory form of relief if the applicant is qualified. Asylum, on the other hand, is discretionary.
