What Is Asylum?
Asylum is a form of protection granted to individuals in the U.S. who are unable or unwilling to return to their home country due to fear of persecution based on race, religion, nationality, political opinion, or membership in a particular social group. The process of applying for asylum can be complex, requiring careful preparation of evidence, documentation, and legal arguments to demonstrate your need for protection.
