Who Can Seek Asylum in the US?
If you are an immigrant to the US who is physically present in the country or at a port of entry, you may apply for asylum. To be eligible for this protection, you must prove that returning to your home country would cause you to experience persecution based on your religion, nationality, race, political opinion, or affiliation with a social group.
If you do not qualify for asylum, you may have other options for relief. Read about them on our deportation defense page.
