Brozovich Law, PLLC

Asylum

Asylum & Protection in the United States

What Is Asylum?

Asylum protects people in the U.S. who fear returning to their home country because of persecution based on:

  • Race
  • Religion
  • Nationality
  • Political opinion
  • Membership in a particular social group

At Brozovich Law, PLLC, we help clients tell their stories with courage, evidence, and care. Whether your fear is based on past harm or a serious risk of future persecution, we build a clear, complete, and respectful case.

Even if you’ve already filed your asylum application, we may be able to help.

Who Can Apply for Asylum

You may qualify if:

  • You are physically present in the United States.
  • You file your application within one year of arrival (some exceptions apply).
  • You have a well-founded fear of persecution if returned to your country.
  • Your fear is connected to one of the five protected grounds.

We represent people from all backgrounds — including those fleeing violence, political persecution, gender-based harm, or discrimination related to sexual orientation or gender identity.

Documents & Evidence

Every asylum case is unique, but strong filings usually include:

  • Personal statement or declaration describing your experiences
  • Country conditions reports, news articles, or NGO findings
  • Witness letters or affidavits
  • Medical, police, or government documents (if available)
  • Proof of identity and U.S. entry
  • Evidence of membership in the targeted group

LGBTQ Asylum

Brozovich Law proudly represents LGBTQ+ individuals seeking safety from persecution due to their sexual orientation or gender identity. We understand the sensitivity, discretion, and evidence challenges these cases require — and provide a safe, affirming environment for every client. We are proud to work in Colorado and throughout the U.S. with individuals fleeing their countries of persecution.
