What Is Asylum?

If you have fled your home country for fear of persecution or harm, you can secure protection from the US called asylum. This allows you to live in the US as an asylee. Many who successfully seek asylum can eventually be eligible to work and pursue permanent residency.

Who Qualifies for Asylum in the US?

To qualify for asylum, you must be physically present in the US or trying to enter. Additionally, you must demonstrate that you would be subject to harm or persecution if you returned to your home country because of your religion, political affiliation, social status, racial identity, or nationality.

Should you successfully gain asylum, you can sponsor your children and spouse and help them gain legal protection.

The Types of Asylums

There are two types of asylums in the US:

Affirmative: Seeking affirmative asylum involves applying directly with the US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS).
Defensive: This type of asylum can offer protection from removal. Seeking it requires making a case before an immigration judge.

The Application Process

To apply for affirmative asylum, you must fill out and submit Form I-589 with the USCIS. This form asks for biographical information, as well as details about your reasons for needing asylum. You must complete and submit the form within one year of arriving in the US. Additionally, you are required to undergo a background check and fingerprinting.

Once the USCIS has received your Form I-589, they will schedule an interview and decide whether to grant asylum.

If you want to secure defensive asylum, you will need to make your case before a judge. You may have a lawyer represent you throughout the various court proceedings.

In defensive asylum cases, judges will either grant asylum, recommend that you obtain other forms of legal protection, or order removal.

What Happens If Asylum Is Denied?

It is possible to appeal a denial of asylum through the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA). If this is unsuccessful, you can make a case with the federal court of appeals. Retaining an attorney is wise when attempting to appeal a judge’s asylum decision.
