Seeking Asylum: How to Write Your Story


Are you seeking safety in the U.S. and planning to ask for Asylum at the US/Mexican Border? If you fear harm in your country, you may ask for asylum.

Here’s how to show fear of future harm:

  1. Explain why you can’t return. What dangers do you face?
  2. Tell us if you or your family were harmed before.
  3. Share threats against you. Keep messages or letters.
  4. Describe dangers for people like you in your country.
  5. Use reports or news showing these dangers.
  6. Use medical records and psychologist records to show any treatment for trauma and fears related to your asylum case.
  7. Hire a lawyer in the U.S. who specializes in Asylum to help you.
  8. Get a guarantor/sponsor to minimize your chances of staying in ICE Detention.
