This chart gives a basic breakdown of the qualifications, standards, and benefits of asylum, Withholding of Removal under INA § 241(b)(3), Withholding of Removal under the Convention Against Torture, and Deferral of Removal under the Convention Against Torture. When filing an I-589 application with either USCIS or the immigration court, 4 different forms of relief are to be considered. Only asylum can be applied for affirmatively (through USCIS), while the other forms or relief are only available defensively (before an immigration judge).

Case Type: Asylum
Country: Classified R is a law student at prestigious U.S. law school. His father is a civil rights attorney in Country X, who takes on cases against the government of Country X. His father and mother were arrested, detained, and placed under house arrest in Country X, as a result of the controversial cases that R's father takes. Through the help of our office, R was granted asylum by a Hawaii Immigration Court. Asylum was granted despite the 1 year rule because of the recent political development of Country X. |
