Protecting Foreign Nationals Against Persecution
The United States has a long history of providing asylum to foreign nationals who fear persecution in their home countries. Persecution for association with a particular social group, political views, religious affiliation, race or nationality may all be reasons for seeking asylum.
Simply requesting asylum doesn't necessarily mean that asylum will be granted. As a matter of fact, many deserving immigrants are refused asylum because they are not represented by attorneys at their hearings. An experienced immigration attorney can help to make a compelling case and work to ensure that you are allowed to stay in the country. At the Nashville-based office of Vanessa Saenz, Attorney at Law, we have helped many clients in a variety of asylum matters.
Fighting to Protect Your Interests
There are certain requirements that must be met in order to be granted asylum in the United States. You must file for asylum within a year of your arrival in the United States and you cannot have previously been denied asylum by an Immigration Judge or the Board of Immigration Appeals. There is also a certain burden of proof with regard to the likelihood of persecution.
Attorney Vanessa Saenz has been practicing law in Middle Tennessee for over 10 years. She has extensive experience in all areas of immigration law, including cases involving deportation and removal defense and helping clients to obtain refugee status. She will present the strongest possible argument on your behalf to help you obtain the protection you need.
