Asked in Civil Rights and Immigration Law for California

Q: I have a positive Asylum status in Europe since 2013. My kids face discrimination. Is it possible to relocate in USA?

Basically my 4 children has been facing discrimination in school and reached an extent of refusing to go to school.

This has been happening to me also at my place of work. I have faced a lot of bad incidents because of being a different race.

A: Relocating to the USA is a possibility, but it involves a specific process. You would need to apply for a visa or immigration status through one of the available pathways. This could include seeking asylum in the USA if you can demonstrate persecution or fear of persecution due to race, religion, nationality, political opinion, or membership in a particular social group.

For your children, their safety and well-being are crucial. Education and a supportive environment are vital for their growth and mental health. Moving to a place where they feel safe and accepted can make a significant difference in their lives.

Consider reaching out to legal assistance or immigration services for detailed guidance. They can provide you with the necessary steps and documents required for your application. Relocating is a significant step, but with proper support and information, it can lead to a better and more secure future for you and your children.
