CASE: Asylum in Immigration Court

CLIENT: Chinese

LOCATION: Cleveland Immigration Court

Our Chinese client came to the United States on a F-1 visa in July 2011.  She was persecuted and harmed in China based on her religious belief (Christianity), so within one year of her entry, she filed an asylum application (Asylum, Withholding of Removal, and relief under the CAT) to the USCIS with our office’s legal assistance.  She was interviewed at the Asylum Office in Cleveland, OH in April 2013, but her case was referred to an immigration judge. The Notice to Appear was issued and our client was placed in removal proceedings.  

After the case was referred to the Immigration Court, our client retained our office again.

Our client was scared to go back home to China, fearing that she will be persecuted based on her religious belief.  She also had past persecution in China due to her religious activities. We helped her prepare her asylum application and represented her in immigration court hearings. We also asked her to provide more supporting documents corroborating her claim, some of which were a letter from her mother, and colleagues and friends in China. Our firm also did some research on articles related to her claim, and the type of persecution she will experience in China if sent back.

After several years of continuance and re-scheduling, our client’s individual hearing was scheduled on September 23, 2021 at the Cleveland Immigration Court. Attorney Sung Hee (Glen) Yu represented our client at the hearing. During the hearing, our client testified credibly as to her past persecution in China and likelihood of future persecution. After the hearing, the Immigration Judge granted asylum relief for our client. She is now an asylee who will get her work permit soon and will be eligible to apply for permanent residency in one year.
