User Question: Hello, has anyone filed for asylum by themselves? How do you do that?

Expert

Expert Answer: Yes, it is possible to file for asylum without an attorney, but the process can be complex. You need to submit Form I-589 (Application for Asylum and for Withholding of Removal) to USCIS within one year of your arrival in the U.S. You should include a personal statement, supporting evidence, and any documents that strengthen your claim. After filing, you will receive a receipt notice, a biometrics appointment, and later an interview notice. Due to the legal complexities and the risk of denial, it is highly recommended to seek legal assistance or at least consult an immigration attorney before filing.
