What is Political Asylum in the United States?
Asylum is a legal protection that the U.S. government grants to people who have suffered persecution or fear persecution in their home country for one or more of these 5 reasons:
- Race
- Religion
- Nationality
- Membership of a particular social group
- Political opinions
Types of Asylum:
Affirmative Asylum
For people who are already in the United States and submit their application directly to the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS).
Defensive Asylum
For those who, while in the United States, face deportation proceedings. In these cases, asylum is requested to an immigration judge, in an attempt to avoid deportation.
Withholding of Removal
This is a form of protection available to people who do not qualify for traditional asylum, but can demonstrate that they would face a real and specific threat of persecution if deported to their home country. Unlike asylum, the standard of proof is higher and it does not offer a path to permanent residency. However, it prevents deportation and allows you to remain in the United States with permission to work.
Protection under the Convention Against Torture (CAT)
For people who fear being tortured if they return to their home country.
