What is Asylum?
Protection for the Persecuted
Your right to seek protection in the United States
Asylum is a form of international protection that allows people fleeing persecution in their home countries to request permission to live in the United States. To qualify, you must demonstrate that you have suffered persecution or have a well-founded fear of persecution based on at least one of five grounds protected by law: race, religion, nationality, political opinion, or membership in a particular social group. Asylum can be requested affirmatively (with USCIS) or defensively (before an immigration judge during deportation proceedings). If approved, the asylee receives work authorization, can petition for certain family members, and after one year can apply for permanent residency.
