ASYLUM AND REFUGEE

Seeking Political Asylum and Refugee Status in the USA?

In 1981, the Refugee Act was passed. Asylum and/or Refugee Status was to be granted to anyone outside of his or her own country of Nationality (or already in the United States) who is "unable or unwilling to return because of persecution or a well-founded fear of persecution on account of race, religion, nationality, membership in a particular social group, or political opinion".

Difference between Refugee Status and Political Asylum: Both refugees and asylees must fall under this category. The most important difference is that the Refugee status application is done outside the applicant's home country as opposed to the Asylee who can apply while in the United States. You must apply for political asylum based on actual experience or persecution in your home country or fear of persecution based on race, religion or political opinion. Did you know you can apply for political asylum even if you are in the United States illegally. Consult with one of our experts to assist and guide you through the process.
