How The Process Works

Book Your Consult

Call, text, or book online. Your $150 consultation lasts about 45 minutes with the attorney — in English, Spanish, or Kreyòl.

Meet Your Attorney

We review your documents and timeline, explain your options honestly, and quote your flat fee in writing before you sign.

Build Your Case

We construct your I-589 narrative, gather country-conditions and personal evidence, and stress-test your testimony before filing.

Negotiation or Litigation

We prepare you for the Miami Asylum Office interview or represent you before the immigration judge — in the language you think in.

Your Asylum Questions, Answered

Straight answers to the questions asylum seekers in Miami ask us most. Every case is different — bring your timeline and documents to a consultation for advice on your specific facts.

You file Form I-589 — with USCIS if you are not in removal proceedings, or with the immigration judge if you are. Miami applicants typically interview at the Miami Asylum Office. The application asks for your full persecution story, and inconsistencies can sink a case, so the narrative and evidence should be built carefully before filing. Bring your documents to a consultation and we will map your path.
Missing the deadline does not always end the case. Exceptions exist for changed circumstances in your country or extraordinary circumstances that prevented filing, and withholding of removal and CAT protection have no one-year deadline at all. Do not decide on your own that the door is closed — bring your timeline to a consultation first.

You can legally work in Florida while your asylum case is pending only after you receive an approved Employment Authorization Document (EAD), also known as a work permit.

It depends where you are. An asylum office can refer your case to immigration court rather than end it; a judge's denial can be appealed to the Board of Immigration Appeals, and motions to reopen exist for the right facts. Withholding of removal and CAT protection may still be available. Bring your denial or referral notice to a consultation so we can review the specific basis.
Often, yes. Your spouse and unmarried children under 21 can usually be included as derivatives on your application, and after a grant you can petition for them with Form I-730 if they were not included. Unaccompanied minor children follow a separate process. Tell us who is with you and who is abroad, and we will plan for everyone.

We’re on a mission

The Godoy Law Promise To Our Clients

Hilmarys Godoy-Villard, Esq. founded Godoy Law P.A. in 2018 to give Miami’s immigrant families representation that is attorney-led, honest, and delivered in the client’s own language. She earned her J.D. from St. Thomas University School of Law and her bachelor’s degree in criminal justice and psychology, and she is a member of the Florida Bar (No. 1008314), authorized to practice before USCIS, the immigration courts (EOIR), and the Board of Immigration Appeals. Her practice is devoted entirely to U.S. immigration law.

When you work with Godoy Law, your case is personally overseen by Attorney Godoy-Villard, with a dedicated case manager keeping you informed. Consultations, filings, interview preparation, and court hearings happen in English, Spanish, or Haitian Creole — you should never have to bring a family member to translate your own legal case. And you will always hear an honest assessment: some cases should not be filed, and we say so.

We prepare every asylum case as if it could end up in immigration court, because some of them will. That discipline — narrative, corroboration, testimony — is what protects you when USCIS or the immigration judge applies pressure.
