Refugee Application Legal Support in Korea
Your history matters. How it is explained and supported matters too.
A refugee application may involve events that are difficult to explain, remember or document. YUSU Lawfirm helps applicants review their own history, organize relevant information and prepare for the Korean refugee process with careful legal assistance.
Refugee & asylum
YUSU Lawfirm assists applicants in Korea with refugee status applications, interviews and the review process that follows. The firm is a Korean law firm providing English-language legal assistance to international clients.
Your Case Begins With Your Own History
Refugee cases are highly individual. Before preparing documents or an interview, we take time to understand what happened, when it happened, who was involved and why returning to your country is a concern.
You do not need to tell your story perfectly at the beginning. Start with what you remember and the materials you already have.
How YUSU Lawfirm Can Help
UNDERSTAND YOUR HISTORY
We review the events in your own account and work with you to understand the chronology and the information that may require further explanation.
- Important events
- People and places involved
- Dates and chronology
- Previous statements or applications, if any
REVIEW SUPPORTING MATERIALS
Documents do not replace your personal account, but available materials may help explain and support important parts of your history.
- Identification documents
- Messages or correspondence
- Relevant personal records
- Other materials connected to your account
PREPARE FOR THE PROCESS
Legal preparation can include reviewing written statements, organizing supporting materials and preparing for questions that may arise during the refugee process.
- Statement preparation
- Evidence organization
- Interview preparation
- Supplementary written submissions where appropriate
Preparing Your Statement
A refugee statement should reflect your own experience in your own facts.
Our role is not to make your story sound more dramatic or to replace your memory. We help identify areas that may be unclear, organize the chronology and make sure important parts of your history are not overlooked when preparing the written submission.
Preparing for the Interview
For many applicants, explaining difficult events in an unfamiliar legal process can be stressful. Preparation can help you understand the process, review the information you have already provided and communicate your own experience as clearly as possible.
Start With What You Have
You do not need to collect every possible document before asking for legal help.

Refugee Applications in Korea: Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to have all my evidence before contacting a lawyer?
No. Start with the documents and information you already have. After reviewing your history, we can identify what additional materials may be relevant.
Can you help me write my refugee statement?
We can help organize and review a statement based on your own experiences and information. We do not create facts or change your story.
Can you help me prepare for the refugee interview?
Yes, where included in the agreed scope. Preparation can include reviewing your application, chronology and supporting materials and helping you understand the issues that may need clear explanation.
What if I already submitted my refugee application?
You can still tell us what stage the case has reached and provide copies of what has already been submitted. We can review the available materials and determine what legal assistance may be appropriate at that stage.
Can you guarantee that I will be recognized as a refugee?
No. Refugee recognition is decided by the relevant authorities, and no particular outcome can be guaranteed.
