Asylum Legal Assistance
Every year, countless individuals are forced to flee their home countries due to persecution, political unrest, or threats to their very lives. Seeking asylum in the United States is not just about immigration; it is about survival, dignity, and the right to live free from fear.
At Gehis Immigration and International Legal Services, we understand that asylum is not just a legal process. It is a deeply personal journey. Our mission is to stand beside you, guide you through the complexities of U.S. asylum law, and fight for the protection you and your family deserve.
Why Asylum Matters
Asylum is a form of protection granted to individuals who have suffered persecution or have a well-founded fear of persecution in their home country. It offers more than just safety it provides:
- The right to live and work legally in the U.S.
- A pathway to permanent residency and U.S. citizenship
- The chance to reunite with family members
- Freedom from deportation and return to danger
For many, asylum is the difference between a life of uncertainty and a secure future.

Who Qualifies for Asylum?

Membership in a particular social group
Persecution may include threats of violence, imprisonment, torture, or systemic discrimination. Our legal team will work with you to identify and prove the basis of your claim.
The asylum process is complex and often intimidating. Applicants face challenges such as
Filing deadlines (asylum generally must be filed within one year of arrival)
Lack of documentation or evidence
