In the U.S., eligibility for asylum hinges on demonstrating a well-founded fear of persecution in your home country due to your race, religion, nationality, political opinion, or membership in a particular social group. Applicants must be physically present in the U.S. or at a port of entry and typically need to apply within one year of their latest arrival, unless they qualify for an exception. It’s also essential that the individual has not firmly resettled in another country or passed through a country with which the U.S. has a safe third country agreement.

Asylum seekers in the U.S. have the right to remain in the country while their claim for protection is pending. They are entitled to pursue some educational opportunities and, if they are a refugee or asylee, they have permanent permission to live and work in the U.S., with several federal laws protecting their right to work. Asylum seekers should receive at least the same rights and basic help as any other legal foreign resident.
To be granted asylum in the U.S., individuals must demonstrate a well-founded fear of persecution in their home country due to their race, religion, nationality, political opinion, or membership in a particular social group. They must be physically present in the U.S. or at a border and must apply within one year of their latest arrival, unless they qualify for an exception.
The U.S. government evaluates each asylum case individually, considering the applicant’s fear of persecution due to the aforementioned protected grounds. The decision is also based on whether the applicant has firmly resettled in another country before arriving in the U.S., whether they passed through a safe third country, and if they are admissible under U.S. law.
Asylum seekers can enter the U.S. either by crossing the border or by arriving at a U.S. port of entry. They can then apply for asylum affirmatively or defensively.
The length of the asylum process in the U.S. can vary greatly depending on individual circumstances and the backlog of cases. Generally, it can take anywhere from a few months to several years. That’s why it is important to have professional help to make sure your case is processed correctly and quickly.
