Immigration Papers: Can Someone Help Me with this letter?

Hi, I was asked by my lawyer to write a letter explaining my fear of being deported back to my home country ( I came to the United States when I was 1yrs old)

Im stuck! They only point that I can come up with right now is that I dont know the language nor do I know anyone back there -____-

Any help?

Typically,it would depend on what you're trying to outline.

There are typically 3 levels of hardship under INA[immigration law],Hardship,Extreme Hardship and 'Exceptionally and Extremely Unusual hardship'.

Afaik,not knowing the language would not be enough of a deterrent,issues concerning personal safety are taken more seriousl.[E.g.(1).If you require medical attention that only the US can provide.(2) Your country is under siege and it isn't currently safe.(3)You're part of a certain group of people from your country that are currently un-welcomed by the current government.]

Talk about how it would be a cultural shock for you, since you grew up Americanized practically your whole life. For that, give examples of sociocultural differences in how people live everyday life and interact with each other in your country of birth, how it is different in America, and why you embrace American culture as your own.
Explain how you consider the US your home country since this is all you recall seeing as you grew up.
Elaborate about the language difference, how you don't speak it, let alone know how to write it. That would be quite the challenge if you're expected to function at college grammatical and linguistic level as you enroll in college there or simply obtain a job.
Be sure to mention how you are loyal to the US (that helps with appease the "oh, they are more loyal to their birth country than America!!" crazies)


I hope that helps!

Your two points are no good, don't mention them. Because think about people considering coming to the US, both legally and illegally, if they all use your two points when considering whether or to come here, there wouldn't be any immigrants in this country.

I strongly advice against elaborating about language differences. If all immigrants come into this country knew the language then people wouldn't have to "Press 1 for English".

What exactly are you applying for?

Are you applying for asylum? Or are you applying for a stay of deportation?

In either case, you need evidence to prove well-founded fears of deportation to your country of origin.

asylum

I would suggest you start researching about your country of origin about things that you can use to state a valid fear of returning there.

They can include but not limited to:
1. Political Factions (was / is your family in an opposing political party to the one in charge?)
2. Religious Persecution (is your country of origin persecuting a certain religion?)
3. Threats / Violence against you or you family from a faction or gang in your country of origin.

You need to furnish good documented evidence, this can include things such as an affidavit from a family member currently in your country of origin.

The burden of proof is on you in asylum cases, if you fail to convince the USCIS of your well-founded fears you may expose you and your family to removal proceedings.

I don't think it is a good idea to apply for asylum at all,if age and language are the only reasons you have been able to come up with your lawyer.Sure,you may get a work permit during the timeline of your case but if your case isn't approved you will be asked to leave the US.

I would actually highly suggest seeing at least 3-4 legal opinions before committing to this.

If you're still going ahead with this be sure to listen to what DreamerSD13 had to say in addition try to use MAINLY US based or reputable international resources for the facts concerning your case,like the State dept or Red Cross.

Will you share which country it is?
