Claiming assylum in usa

I assume that you come from a country, likely China, which has the one child policy and enforces it strenuously. You could submit the I-589 asylum form in triplicate to the Vermont Service Center of U.S.C.I.S. since you appear to be in the state of Maryland. You will later be invited to an interview at the local asylum office which will go over with you the merits of your claim. You would have to show that you have a well-founded fear of persecution if you return to the home country. If you are from China, the focus will be upon the local enforcement policy of the part of China from which you come. That is because different parts of China treat violations of the one child policy differently. If the asylum office awards you asylum, you will be notified shortly after the interview. If not, and you are no longer in legal status, it will issue a notice to appear (NTA) for you to appear before the immigration court at which time you can attempt to win your asylum case before an immigration judge.Due to the limitations of the Lawyers.com Forums, Alan Lee, Esq.'s (the "Firm") participation in responding to questions posted herein does not constitute legal advice, nor legal representation of the person or entity posting a question.
