Asylum

The U.S. government offers asylum to people who fear for their safety if they return to their home country based on one of the following:

• Race

• Religion

• Nationality

• Membership in a particular social group

• Political opinion 

To become an asylee, an individual must be able to prove past persecution or fear of future persecution. This can be very difficult to do. Because asylum cases are often legally complex, most applicants need the help of an attorney.
