Asylum, Deportation Defense & Litigation

Mensah, Butler & Dzubow, PLLC

United States Political Asylum Lawyers — Washington, D.C.

If you have been persecuted in your home country or have good reason to believe that you would be if you had to return, you may be able to obtain a grant of religious or political asylum and remain safely in the United States. That said, the asylum process is complicated and full of pitfalls.

We can help you avoid the pitfalls and secure a safer future for you and your family.

If you qualify for religious or political asylum in the U.S., you have only one year from the date you arrived in this country to apply. Contact us.

At Mensah, Butler & Dzubow, we represent people from across the globe seeking religious or political asylum in the United States. The most common forms of persecution our clients face are on the basis of factors such as:

  • Race
  • Religion
  • Political beliefs
  • National origin
  • Membership in a particular social group
  • Sexual orientation
  • Fear of terrorist organizations and criminal gangs

Our attorneys are admitted to practice immigration law in every U.S. jurisdiction and routinely handle asylum litigation, deportation defense and related matters before the Arlington Immigration Court, the Board of Immigration Appeals, and in federal circuit courts throughout the country. This experience is a tremendous benefit to our clients because many asylum petitions are initially denied and require diligent litigation in a variety of venues.

We know how the system works and will strive to speed up the process in every way possible. If we are successful and your petition is granted, you will then be able to file petitions for immediate family members. After one year, you become eligible for lawful permanent resident status. In any case, our lawyers recognize the anxiety these issues create and will keep you informed and up-to-date on the status of your petition at every stage of the process.
