Asylum intake that captures the protected-ground nexus up front
The intake asks whether the prospect is currently in the U.S., whether the feared harm ties to a protected ground, and when they entered the country, while collecting immigration court notices before anything lands in your CRM.
The exact intake your asylum and withholding leads complete
This is the real 8-question guided intake for Asylum and Withholding — the same flow your customers finish before you ever pick up the phone.
What a qualified asylum and withholding lead should tell you
Asylum and Withholding covers claims for protection from removal based on persecution tied to race, religion, nationality, political opinion, or social group, including withholding of removal requests when full asylum relief is barred by timing or a prior denial.

The questions your team needs answered
Every asylum and withholding intake asks these — and why each one matters.
| Question | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Are you currently in the United States? | A 'No' here signals the prospect is outside the U.S. and likely needs a different form of relief rather than an in-country asylum filing. |
| Are you afraid to return to your home country because you think you would be harmed there? | This establishes the core fear-of-return element every asylum and withholding claim depends on. |
| Is the harm you fear connected to your race, religion, nationality, political views, or being part of a particular social group (for example, your family, gender, sexual orientation, or another identity)? | This tests whether the feared harm ties to a protected ground, the nexus requirement that separates a viable asylum claim from other humanitarian relief. |
| Did you enter the United States within the last 12 months? | Entry within the last 12 months signals the case may still fall inside the one-year asylum filing deadline. |
| Are you currently in immigration court or have you received papers to appear in immigration court? | An active immigration court case usually means the matter already has a filing deadline set by a judge, making timing critical. |
| Have you ever been denied asylum in the United States before? | A prior denial doesn't disqualify the lead, but it flags that the attorney needs to review what has changed since the last decision. |
| Have you been convicted of a serious crime in the United States or another country? | A criminal conviction can trigger bars to asylum eligibility, so this flags the file for review before a withholding-only strategy is considered. |
| Have you ever helped or participated in harming other people (for example, as part of a group or government force)? | Prior involvement in harming others can trigger the persecutor bar, which the attorney needs to see before offering any consultation. |

Built for asylum and withholding workflows
| Cliont capability | Asylum And Withholding application |
|---|---|
| Weighted scoring | Weighs current U.S. presence, fear of return, and protected-ground nexus above lower-fit signals like a prior denial or older entry date. |
| Conditional flagging | Surfaces criminal conviction or persecutor-bar answers to the attorney instead of silently disqualifying a lead who may still have a withholding-only path. |
| Document collection | Requests Notice to Appear paperwork and entry documents up front so the attorney can see the filing timeline before the first consultation. |
| CRM routing | Sends leads with a confirmed protected-ground nexus and current U.S. presence directly into your CRM as review-ready files rather than general inquiries. |
Common asylum and withholding lead scenarios
Recent arrival, no court date yet
Prospect entered the U.S. within the last 12 months and fears return based on political opinion, but has not yet received a Notice to Appear, keeping the case inside the one-year filing window.
Respondent already in removal proceedings
Prospect confirms they already have immigration court paperwork, which usually means a filing deadline is already set by a judge rather than something the firm controls.
Previously denied asylum applicant
Prospect answers yes to a prior asylum denial, which lowers the score but still routes to the CRM flagged for review since circumstances may have changed.
Criminal history or persecutor bar flags
Prospect discloses a prior conviction or involvement in harming others, both of which can bar asylum eligibility and shift the conversation toward a withholding-only strategy.
Prospect currently outside the U.S.
Prospect answers no to being currently in the United States, which points toward a different form of relief and scores lower than an in-country asylum inquiry.

Asylum and Withholding lead-intake FAQs
Does the intake track the one-year asylum filing deadline?
The intake asks whether the prospect entered the U.S. within the last 12 months, which flags cases that may still fall inside the one-year filing window for your team to confirm.
Will the intake surface a lead already in immigration court?
Yes, the intake asks directly whether the prospect is in immigration court or has received court paperwork, which usually signals a firm deadline is already set by a judge.
What happens if a prospect was previously denied asylum?
A prior denial lowers the lead's score but does not remove it from your CRM; it flags the file so an attorney can review what has changed since the last decision.
Does the intake ask about criminal history or persecutor bars?
Yes, the catalog includes questions on prior convictions and any involvement in harming others, both of which can affect asylum eligibility and are flagged rather than hidden.
Can the intake distinguish a protected-ground claim from other fear of harm?
The intake separates general fear of return from harm tied to race, religion, nationality, political opinion, or social group, since that nexus is what a viable asylum claim depends on.
Does this intake replace an attorney's legal screening?
No. The intake structures the prospect's answers and documents for your review; it does not make an eligibility or legal determination on the firm's behalf.
