“ I had always hoped that this land might become a safe and agreeable asylum to the virtuous and persecuted part of mankind, to whatever nation they might belong. ”
~ George Washington
Asylum
An individual is eligible for asylum if she meets the definition of a refugee. Asylum seekers can file an application within a year of arriving in the U.S (Affirmative Asylum), or they can file it “defensively,” once they are in deportation proceedings (Defensive Asylum). Anyone in the U.S. can claim asylum whether they are here legally or not. An asylum seeker must demonstrate a Well-Founded Fear” of “Persecution” perpetrated by the government or an entity the government can not/will not control “On account of” Race, Religion, Nationality, Political Opinion, Membership in a Particular Social Group.
Refugees
Certain foreign nationals may obtain a status of refugee if they meet the definition of a refugee. A refugee is “any person who is outside any country ... and who is unable or unwilling to return to, and is unable or unwilling to avail himself or herself of the protection of that country because of persecution or a well-founded fear of persecution on account of race, religion, nationality, membership in a particular social group, or political opinion.” Once refugees resettle in the US, they become eligible for certain benefits and our office can help refugees navigate through the immigration system.

I had a consultation with Fafa and she was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. I came prepared with a list of questions, but she addressed every single one as she explained the process—even before I had a chance to ask. She was very helpful, and I will definitely be booking her services.

I had a fantastic experience working with Assignon Law on my green card application. From the very beginning, their team demonstrated exceptional customer service always responsive, professional, and genuinely caring.
What impressed me the most was their attention to detail throughout the entire process. Every document was thoroughly reviewed, and they made sure I understood each step clearly. Thanks to their guidance and expertise, my green card application was handled smoothly and successfully (yay!)
I’m incredibly grateful for their support and would highly recommend Assignon Law to anyone needing immigration legal services. They truly go above and beyond for their clients!

Top immigration lawyer! Mrs. Assignon is a very professional, understanding, patient and comprehensive lawyer. From the very beginning, she was friendly and confident about her work and what we needed to do in our situation. If we had any questions at all, she was available to clear them up in a timely manner. Additionally, she walked us step by step through our interview with officials as we met before that crucial day. We highly recommend contacting her as a lawyer if you have any immigration needs. She has the experiences and expertise herself to back it up.
