Asilo y Venezuela, Las Protestas NO Son Un Base, Por Si Misma, de Pedir Asilo

 Un abogado en Miami recientemente dijo en Univision Miami que todos los inmigrantes de Venezuela que están en los Estados Unidos, ya, a causa de las protestas y demonstraciones, pueden aplicar por asilo.  Esto es completamente falso!  Desaforadamente, muchos Venezolanos han sido engañados por este mal consejo.

No sea engañado! 
Aplicando por asilo en los Estados Unidos es un proceso complicado que nunca debe ser hecho sin consultar con un abogado con mucha experiencia en casos de asilo. Por ejemplo, si alguien ha estado en los estados unidos por más de un ano, tal persona no es elegible por asilo sin convencer a USCIS que su demora en aplicar era por una buena razón (en raros casos).  De hecho tal caso será negado y su caso será tirado al corte de inmigración.  Y, como muchos saben, los cortes de inmigración niegan la mayoría de casos de asilo. En el ano 2013, los cortes de inmigración solo aprobaron los 33% de los casos de asilo por Venezolanos.  

Entonces no cree todo lo que escuchas por la televisión.  Si, es verdad que una persona podrá obtener la residencia permanente basada que tal persona está sujeta a persecuciones en su país de origen.  Pero, la persona que está aplicando para el asilo deberá comprobar que los fundamentos de su aplicación son válidos. O sea, que esta persona ha sido la tarjeta de amenazas o/y de persecuciones. No que el país es generalmente peligroso y que hay ataques contra los protestantes.  

Consulta con un abogado con experiencia en casos de asilo, y entiende que aunque cualquier persona pueda aplicar por asilo, los que ganaran su caso son los que pueden comprobar persecución específica contra sí misma.

If You Are An Immigrant (even a US Citizen), Here Are 9 Things You Should Know

Are you a Naturalized U.S. Citizen, Lawful Permanent Resident, Visa Holder, or an Undocumented Immigrant? We recommend you take the following steps to protect yourself in our current version of America. The last couple of weeks have reminded immigrants, even naturalized U.S. citizens, that they were not born in the United States. Our office has received countless phone calls, emails, and social media messages from people worrying about what their family’s future in the United States holds. Most people want to know what they can do now to protect themselves from what promises to be a wave of anti-immigration activity by the federal government. Trump's Executive Order on Interior Enforcement has some provisions that should make most Americans shiver.  We recommend the following actions for each of the following groups: Naturalized U.S. citizens. In particular if you have a foreign accent, and you are traveling within 100 miles of any US Border (including the oceans...

U.S. Recognizes Five-year Extensions of Venezuelan Passport

Venezuelans received welcome news this last month when the National Assembly published a decree signed by Interim President Juan Guaido on May 21, to extend the validity of Venezuelan passports for an additional five years past their printed date of expiration. The U.S. Department of State issued a  statement ,recognizing this extension for visa issuance and consular process. They also stated that Customs and Border Patrol would recognize this decree. Obtaining a valid Venezuelan passport has been a difficult, if not impossible, task that has been a source of much concern for those seeking visas to the U.S. or have pending applications for immigration benefits. This decree will allow those currently holding a Venezuelan passport that has expired to automatically add 5 years of validity from the expiration date. While this statement can provide much needed assurance, we recommend that Venezuelans who are currently applying for an immigration benefit, including travel to t...

Why is USCIS Taking So Long to Renew DACA Work Permits?

If the calls to our office are any indicator, there are thousands of DACA recipients whose work permit applications were filed at least three months prior to expiration, who are still waiting for their renewed work permits.  Without renewed permits, these individuals lose the right to work legally, the right to drive, and may once again accrue unlawful presence. The DHS published a notice in October 2014 advising DACA recipients that they could file their request for extension up to 150 days (5 months) prior to expiration.  As with all things government, very few of the DACA recipients, who tend not to frequent government websites, knew about the memo and many did not file so far before expiration perhaps thinking that extending a work permit was a like extending a drivers license, its is done in a few minutes.  As an experienced immigration lawyer will tell you, the USCIS does nothing quickly, and certainly does not worry that a person may lose their job or their drive...
