Form I-589 is the application for asylum and for withholding of removal. It is filed affirmatively with USCIS or defensively with the immigration court, and what you write on it will be compared to your testimony later.
Because consistency is critical, we prepare the I-589 together with your personal declaration, translate supporting documents and make sure every answer is accurate and complete.
Situations we help with
Approaching the one-year deadline
We can file a complete application quickly and supplement evidence later.
Filing in immigration court
Defensive I-589s must be lodged with the court and served on DHS.
Inconsistent prior statements
We address earlier border or airport statements carefully.
