WELCOME - The legal services office of Freedom House represents indigent asylum seekers in the United States. This includes:


    • Determining if they are eligible for asylum and whether we can help them.
    • Preparing and filing an application for asylum for them with the U.S. Government.
    • Representing persons at their initial interview with an Asylum officer.
    • Representing persons in court at their Asylum hearing.

We also can assist persons applying for relief under VAWA, U-visas, or T-visas.

If we cannot help, we may be able to make a referral to an organization or attorney who can.
