Key Information for Honduran Asylum Cases

 

In this video, we continue our series on asylum cases. Today we are talking about our Honduran brothers and sisters in the United States. It is important to understand that being a victim of a local gang is not enough to obtain asylum under U.S. immigration law. However, if you have been a victim of organized crime or a transnational criminal organization with ties to law enforcement agents or politicians in Honduras, that may provide a legal basis to apply for asylum!

Many have been victims of extortion or violence, and these kinds of connections to organized crime are essential to building your case. Be sure to include solid evidence, such as reports from Human Rights Watch, Amnesty International, and the U.S. Department of State, among others. If you need guidance on your asylum application or any other immigration matter, contact us. We are here to help protect your future!
