Getting Asylum in the United States.

The Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) provides that the initial interview for asylum applications filed on or after April 1, 1997 (a year ago) should take place within 45 days after the date the application is filed, and a decision should be made on the asylum application within 180 days after the date of filing.

Here are some of the reasons that people file for asylum –

1.  Race

2.  Their choice of religion

3.  Being a member of a certain social group in their old country

4.  Their political opinions.

There are more, of course, but the bottom line is that millions of people over the years have chosen the United States of America as a safe haven.  If you or a loved one is seeking asylum in the Baltimore area please contact Maryland immigration attorney Briana Arnold.  She will sit down with you and formulate a plan from her Baltimore office.  Call (410) 484-1400.

What is the Future of Immigration in America?

Have you got a crystal ball?  Although the United States has long relied on immigration to fuel productivity and maintain a competitive edge, as well as drive the dynamic that characterizes American society, the nation’s overburdened immigration system is no longer serving America’s needs as this administration turns up the heat.

The Independent Task Force on Immigration and America’s Future seeks to design a new and simplified immigration regime that averts illegal immigration, and at the same time, harnesses the benefits of immigration for the future.  Their proposals target reform in three key areas: admissions, enforcement, and integration.

To say that the future of immigration in America is cloudy would be the understatement of the century!  It takes an experienced Maryland immigration attorney like Brianna Arnold to sort it out.  Please give her a call with your specific questions at (410) 484-1400 and arrange a meeting at her office located at 1777 Reisterstown Road in Baltimore.
