Asylum and Refugee Information and Application Guide
Individuals being persecuted in their home countries may apply for asylum, refugee
status or temporary protected status in the United States. The fact that the person is suffering
economical hardship is not considered a well-funded reason for applying for
asylum or refugee status in the United States.
The Asylum and Refugee application package makes the application process easy to understand. This is a step-by-step guide to help you file your application as
efficiently and quickly as possible. The information in the "Asylum and Refugee Application Kit" will
assist you in determining your eligibility for applying for temporary or
permanent resident status in the United States.
There is a difference between Asylum and Refugee Status:
- Asylum: Individuals already physically present in the U.S. may apply for asylum, provided they meet the definition of a refugee and are not barred by law from applying for or being granted asylum.
- Refugee: A refugee is a person unable or unwilling to return to his or her native country due to a well-founded fear of persecution or because the person's life or freedom would be threatened. To apply for refugee status, the applicant must be physically located outside the United States.
Important: One year
after legally becoming an asylee or refugee in the United States, the applicant
may apply for a Green Card and eventually for
United States Citizenship.
