Case of Attorney Dmytro Naskavets: The Path to a Green Card Through Political Asylum
Amid growing repression in Belarus, many citizens opposing the regime are forced to seek protection abroad. This case tells the story of a Belarusian citizen who, due to his civic stance, participation in peaceful protests, and public criticism of the authorities, found himself facing persecution. Raids, interrogations, and constant pressure from law enforcement became his new reality. To escape this threat, he made the urgent decision to leave Belarus and apply for political asylum in the United States.
Seeking help from attorney Dmytro Naskavets
After arriving in the U.S., the client sought legal support from attorney Dmytro Naskavets — an immigration law specialist with a strong track record in asylum cases. His legal team quickly began work, focusing on preparing a strong case, documenting the threats, and ensuring full legal protection.

The Interview and Asylum Approval
The USCIS interview was the turning point of the case.
