Legal evaluation of your asylum grounds: that is the work of a licensed immigration attorney
Asylum is legal protection the U.S. grants to people who have suffered persecution or have a well-founded fear of being persecuted in their home country because of race, religion, nationality, political opinion, or membership in a particular social group. Your story deserves to be prepared with respect, clarity, and evidence.

What is asylum?
Each year, thousands of people arrive in the U.S. seeking protection because they have been persecuted or fear persecution. Asylum is that legal protection the U.S. grants to those who need it. To apply, you must be physically in the U.S.
Recognized grounds of persecution
Affirmative or Defensive
Affirmative Asylum
Defensive Asylum
USCIS (U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services) is the federal agency that processes affirmative applications. EOIR (Executive Office for Immigration Review) administers immigration courts for defensive cases. They are separate entities with distinct payment portals and procedures.
The one-year deadline
The law requires filing within the first year of arriving in the U.S. However, if that deadline has passed, you can still file by explaining the reasons for the delay in your personal declaration letter.
León & Asociados helps you organize that explanation clearly and with documentation.

Service cost
Government fees (USCIS/EOIR) are not included in our fees, but León & Asociados executes payment on behalf of the client. See the "Annual Fee" section to understand what applies to your case.
Annual Asylum Fee (AAF)
Since 2025, every person with a pending asylum application must pay an annual fee until their case reaches a final decision: $102 per year with USCIS, rising to $105 on Oct. 16, 2026; in immigration court it is already $105 since Oct. 1, 2026. Regardless of when you filed: if your case is still active, this fee applies. Families in the same consolidated case pay only once.
Who pays what and when?
What does May 29, 2026 mean?
This date is NOT a payment deadline. It is when USCIS activated official consequences for non-payment. The process works as follows:
Important: some people have NOT received a notice but their fee is already overdue. Check at my.uscis.gov: if you see a "Pay and Submit" button, you must pay immediately.
Where to pay?

If your case is with USCIS (affirmative asylum with the federal agency):
