The Law
Offices of Jonathan Robert Nelson, P.C., are the place to go when your asylum claim runs into trouble. As an experienced
appellate asylum lawyer, Jonathan Robert Nelson knows how to help asylum applicants who genuinely fear persecution at
home, but whose asylum cases have been denied by the Asylum Office, the Immigration Court, or the Board of Immigration Appeals. For
some, the poetic verse, “yearning to breathe free,” expresses more than just an abstract idea. Many people come
to the United States from countries where no freedom exists for political opponents, for people who speak unpopular truths,
for those who practice minority religions, for women who refuse to submit to gender-related persecution, or for other persons
from disfavored national, ethnic or social groups.
The Refugee Act of 1980 permits some people who are physically
present in the United States to apply for asylum in the U.S. or withholding of removal to the countries where they fear
persecution. The Convention Against Torture protects people who can show that they would be tortured upon return to their
home country. To prove a case under these laws can be difficult, however, because Asylum Officers and Immigration Judges apply
strict tests to determine whether applicants are credible, whether they have presented sufficient evidence to support their
claims, and whether their claims are consistent with what is known about political conditions and human rights practices in
the country of persecution. Hiring an experienced and careful lawyer to assist you with your claims
may be the key to winning your asylum case. Jonathan Robert Nelson has substantial experience in pursuing asylum claims in
the Asylum Office; the Immigration Courts; the Board of Immigration Appeals; and the United States Courts of Appeals. If circumstances
require you to ask for asylum in the United States, consider hiring this office. We pursue asylum claims on behalf of our
clients with diligence, zeal, and intelligence.
