Asylum

Since World War Two, more refugees have been granted asylum in the United States than any other nation. More than two million refugees have arrived in the U.S. since 1980. In 2006, of the top ten countries accepting resettled refugees, the U.S. accepted more than twice as many as the next nine countries combined. A specified number of those applying for refugee status from abroad as well as those applying for asylum after arriving in the U.S. are admitted each year.

In asylum cases, individuals must demonstrate to the U.S. government that they fear persecution in their country based on race, religion, nationality, membership in a social group, or based on their political opinions. Because asylum cases can be extremely complicated, it is advisable to work with an immigration attorney well-versed in asylum law.
