What is Asylum?
Asylum is a form of protection available to individuals who are in the United States or arriving at a U.S. port of entry and who cannot return to their home country because they have suffered persecution or fear future persecution.
Persecution must be based on one of the protected grounds under U.S. immigration law.
These include:
- Race
- Religion
- Nationality
- Political opinion
- Membership in a particular social group
Individuals granted asylum may remain in the United States, apply for work authorization, and eventually apply for permanent residence.

- You file your application within one year of entry (with some exceptions)
- You are not barred due to criminal or immigration violations
Each case must be supported by detailed evidence and testimony.
