Asylum

We help those who come to the United States seeking protection because they have suffered persecution or fear that they will suffer persecution due to:

​

• Race

• Religion

• Nationality

• Membership in a particular social group

• Political opinion

If you are eligible for asylum you may be permitted to remain in the United States. You may include your spouse and children who are in the United States on your application at the time you file or at any time until a final decision is made on your case. To include your child on your application, the child must be under 21 and unmarried.
