What Is Asylum?

Asylum is a form of protection that allows individuals who have been persecuted — or have a well-founded fear of persecution — in their home country to remain in the United States. To qualify, the persecution must be based on at least one of the following grounds:

Immigration Court Litigation

Attorney Henry Cessé has spent over three decades navigating the complexities of immigration court — from local Orlando hearings to appeals before the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) and federal circuit courts.

U Visas

If you have been a victim of a serious crime and cooperated with law enforcement, you may qualify for a U visa — a path to lawful immigration status in the United States.

What Is a U Visa?

The U nonimmigrant visa (U visa) is available to victims of certain serious crimes who have suffered substantial mental or physical abuse. It allows you to live and work legally in the United States and can lead to a green card. You do not need to have legal status to apply.

Who Qualifies?

• You were a victim of a qualifying crime (e.g., assault, domestic violence, sexual assault, trafficking, kidnapping, murder)
• The crime occurred in the United States or violated U.S. federal law
• You suffered substantial physical or mental abuse
• You have useful information about the criminal activity
• You have cooperated — or are willing to cooperate — with law enforcement

The U Visa Process

1. Law Enforcement Certification

We help you obtain Form I-918 Supplement B — a certification from the police, prosecutor, or another qualifying agency confirming your cooperation.

2. Filing the Petition

We prepare and file Form I-918 with USCIS along with all supporting evidence, documentation of abuse, and a detailed personal statement.

3. Waiting Period & Work Authorization

U visa numbers are limited annually. While your case is pending, we can seek deferred action and work authorization so you can move forward with your life.

4. U Visa Approval & Path to Green Card

Once approved, you receive lawful status for up to 4 years. After 3 years of continuous presence, you may apply for a green card (lawful permanent residence).

Immigration Bonds

When a loved one is detained, every hour counts. Attorney Henry Cessé fights to secure their release quickly and with dignity.

What Is an Immigration Bond?

An immigration bond is a financial guarantee paid to the U.S. government that allows a detained individual to be released from custody while their immigration case proceeds through the courts. If the person attends all required hearings, the bond is returned at the end of the case.

Types of Immigration Bonds

Delivery Bond
Issued when ICE has a warrant for arrest and allows the detained person to remain in the community while their case is pending. The individual must attend all scheduled immigration hearings.

Voluntary Departure Bond
Allows an individual to voluntarily leave the United States by a specific date without a formal deportation order. The bond is returned once the person departs on time.
