- Affirmative Asylum (through USCIS if you’re not in removal proceedings)
- Defensive Asylum (requested as a defense in immigration court)
- Credible Fear Interview (for recent arrivals at the border or airport)
- Reasonable Fear Interview (for those with prior removal orders)
- Asylum for unaccompanied minors
