Asylum Applications

Protection for Individuals Facing Persecution

Asylum provides protection to individuals who are unable or unwilling to return to their home country because they fear persecution. Individuals may apply for asylum in the United States if they have suffered persecution or have a well-founded fear of persecution based on race, religion, nationality, political opinion, or membership in a particular social group. Approved asylum applicants may remain in the United States and eventually apply for permanent residency.

Asylum Application Overview & Benefits

Asylum is a humanitarian protection offered by the United States to individuals who have fled their home country due to persecution or fear of persecution. Applicants must demonstrate that they meet the legal definition of a refugee and that returning to their country would place them at risk. Asylum applications are filed with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) or may be requested during removal proceedings before an immigration judge.
