Who Is Eligible for Asylum?
The United States grants asylum to individuals who have a well-founded fear of persecution in their home country. Asylum is different from refugee status in that it is available to individuals who have already returned to their home country.
Asylum applicants must meet the definition of a refugee and demonstrate eligibility for asylum by proving that they:
- Have been persecuted or fear persecution in their home country
- Are unable to safely return to their home country because of such persecution
- Are admissible to the United States
- Are able and willing to support themselves and any dependents while in the United States
- Are of good moral character
Who May Not Be Eligible For Asylum?
Individuals who have been convicted of a serious crime or are considered a threat to the security of the United States are not eligible for asylum. Asylum seekers who have returned to their home country may also be ineligible for asylum.
