What Are The Conditions For Granting Asylum In The U.S.?
The applicant must establish that they are a refugee as defined under U.S. law. This requires proving that they have suffered persecution or have a well-founded fear of persecution due to race, religion, nationality, membership in a particular social group or political opinion. The burden of proof lies with the applicant, who must provide credible and persuasive testimony, corroborated by evidence where possible. The applicant’s testimony alone may suffice if deemed credible by the adjudicating authority.
However, even if someone can be established as a refugee, certain factors can block a grant of asylum. An application may be denied if the applicant has participated in persecution, committed a serious crime, poses a threat to U.S. security or has been firmly resettled in another country. Convictions for particularly serious crimes, such as aggravated felonies, can automatically disqualify an applicant from asylum.
Additionally, asylum does not confer permanent residency. It can be terminated if the applicant no longer meets the refugee definition due to changes in circumstances, if they voluntarily return to their country of nationality or if they acquire a new nationality and protection from the new country.
The asylum process involves a thorough review of the applicant’s claims and supporting evidence. It is designed to ensure that asylum is granted to those who genuinely require protection while maintaining the integrity and security of U.S. immigration systems. Our attorneys ensure that no matter what stage of the asylum process our clients are in, they are getting the top-quality representation they deserve to improve their chances of receiving asylum status.
