Asylum

Asylum is a form of protection granted to individuals who have fled their home country due to fear of persecution based on race, religion, nationality, political opinion, or membership in a particular social group. If you are unable or unwilling to return to your home country because of such threats, you may be eligible to apply for asylum in the United States. Seeking asylum is not only about finding safety but also securing a legal status that allows you to live and work in the U.S., ultimately leading to permanent residency and citizenship.

Who Should Apply for Asylum?

If you have faced or fear serious harm in your home country due to your identity, beliefs, or affiliation, asylum may be the right option for you. Asylum is available to those already in the United States or at a U.S. border, regardless of how they arrived. You must apply within one year of your arrival, though there are exceptions for certain circumstances, such as changes in conditions in your home country or severe personal trauma.
