Asylum

Asylum is a legal process where a person who fears persecution in their home country due to their race, religion, nationality, political opinion, or membership in a particular social group can seek protection in another country.

To apply for asylum in the United States, the individual must be physically in the country or at a port of entry and submit an application within the established time frame. It is important to note that the asylum application process involves demonstrating that the requirements are met and providing evidence to support the fears of persecution.

If the asylum application is approved, the person will receive legal asylum status, allowing them to remain in the United States indefinitely and apply for certain benefits, such as a work permit and the possibility of reuniting with family members. However, it is crucial to have specialized legal advice to fully understand the requirements and implications of the asylum process in U.S. immigration.
