hey i have a problem and am looking for some help.I came here in 2002 under my dad,as g4 dependent i don't know if my visa is still good cause he don't tell me anything at all and i got robed one day so i lost my passport wit my visa i came here wit and my i-94,got my passport back but no visa or i-94,(.since me coming out to him about me being gay its been a up and down battle wit him,before i came out i was forced into a marriage by him cause he did not know i was gay and i was scared at the time too come out too him out of fear of him sending me back home,i am scared to go back home(home is Guyana)cause the do not treat gay people good at all,from the government,police,the court system and people in the community,the are a lot of news article online that show the ill way the treat gay people.it is even illegal to have sex wit another man and illegal for men to ware skinny jeans or small fitting clothes or any thing the government or police feel is female clothes.Just wanna know if i should go ahead and apply for asylum cause i am scared to go back there.and i have proof that the don't treat gay people good there.the have shot a gay person partner,arrested men for dressing like females among other things thats too much to mention here.i contacted immigration equality and done a intake wit them,did a personal statement for them too,but i am still waiting for them too get back too me..

Questions?????

1.Do u guys think i have a good case and should i apply for asylum?:confused::confused::confused:

2.Any lawyer in NYC that is good with this process and wont waste my time and money which i don't have a lot to go around? if immigration equality don't take my case:confused::confused::confused:

3.Scared cause don't wanna get sent home out of fear and i really don't know wat to do right now.:confused::confused::confused:

4.Is the process as hard and emotionally draining as people make it seem on here

Any advice would be thankful.
THANKS A LOT
 
It sounds to me that you are eligible. You said you came here in 2002. Why didn't you apply within 1 year of your arrival? This is the question that you should be prepared for.
 
Well, you will be sent to immigration judge - that's a fact
and yes the one main question you should worry about is the one year rule (in your case it took you 7 years to decide to apply)
I have nothing good to say about lawyers because I believe I wasted money with mine.
Dont be scared - be sure of yourself... believe that you deserve it... because nobody can help you in getting asylum except yourself...
and last but not least - the process is hard and emotional... I cried like a baby when I got my asylum and I almost hugged the judge :D (my lawyer kind of pulled me back)
