What Is the Difference Between a Refugee & an Asylum Seeker?
According to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, a refugee is “a person outside his or her country of nationality who is unable or unwilling to return to his or her country of nationality because of persecution or a well-founded fear of persecution on account of race, religion, nationality, membership in a particular social group, or political opinion.”
Asylum seekers, also known as asylees, need to meet the same requirements as refugees—and the only distinction between the two is location. Asylees are already in the United States or present at a port of entry. This difference necessitates two unique application processes.
If you are seeking asylum, call our firm today at (888) 203-1706. We offer legal services in English and Spanish.

"From Despair to Justice"Mrs. Meaders graciously & passionately took on our family’s immigration & criminal case when all odds were against us. She was open & honest with all communication, never deterred us & worked diligently with the short amount of time she was given. After a nightmare of lies, deceit from a precious Dallas attorney, we truly believe Mrs. Meaders law firm was God sent to help us revive not only our faith in attorneys but help us fight to bring justice to our family member. She had such a short time to fight but that is exactly what she did…fight from the moment we reached out & didn’t stop until she reached her goal for us to see our cousin again. She was honest from the very beginning, no big promises just facts of what she will do & how hard she will work for us. She did exactly that, she communicated with us & with her client openly even if just to calm nerves or ease fear. To give so much for others like Mrs. Meaders has represents a beautiful human being with a passion to help in the hardest times of life. Mrs. Meaders will forever be part of our lives for helping us get through these darkest moments & showing us that there is light in these situations & she’s there to help you. We were told this case was beyond winning, just hope for voluntary deportation at its best. Mrs. Meaders did not give up, she won our family back along with the opportunity to gain citizenship & prove her worth all because she saw our family members worth. Our indebted appreciation to you Mrs. Meaders & your law firm always for your honesty, hard work & integrity. You gave Amalia a second chance! Thank you!!- T. G.

"Fought Hard, Delivered More"In short - I will forever recommend Mrs Meaders and her law firm staff! ... Mrs Meaders very recently was a significant part in the big blessing that our family received. Our family member's situation was a hard one, a case that most attorneys couldn't handle - but Mrs Meaders did. She did what most believed was impossible. We hoped for one outcome and came out with so much more. Mrs Meaders is full of passion for what she does, is extremely knowledgeable, and has such an amazing and inspiring personality ready to fight for her clients. Having dealt with an attorney prior to Mrs Meaders that destroyed us mentally and emotionally, Mrs Meaders was truly God sent. She took the time to really review every single piece of our case yet worked diligently, making positive moves in the case in a short period of time. Her love for her clients and families is a gift in itself. She and her staff offer such great patience and communication and will never make you feel rushed or misunderstood. Mrs Meaders and her staff always responded to every and any questions or concerns promptly, professionally, and genuinely. Mrs Meaders and her staff will never be forgotten and will forever be appreciated for accomplishing what seemed so impossible. Our family members case consisted of an immigration and criminal case combined. We were told multiple times that our only option was a voluntary departure if she was even granted that avenue. Mrs Meaders fought both cases and our family member not only returned back home to us, but came back in a position where she is not only able to retain her residency but is now also able to obtain her citizenship. Mrs Meaders is one amazing human being and attorney. Through her hard work and dedication, God has restored and reunited our family. Thank you Mrs Alexandra Meaders and law firm...FOR EVERYTHING!- C. M.
