Why Seek Asylum?
An asylum is a form of protection granted to individuals who have fled their home country due to persecution or a well-founded fear of persecution based on their race, religion, nationality, political opinion, or membership in a particular social group. It offers an opportunity for safety and the ability to start a new life free from fear and harm.
Grounds for Asylum:
To be eligible for asylum, you must demonstrate that you meet the legal definition of a refugee and that you are not barred from asylum for any of the reasons listed in section 208 of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA). The grounds for asylum can include, but are not limited to:
- Race: If you are being targeted or persecuted due to your race, such as facing discrimination, violence, or other forms of harm based on your racial background.
- Religion: If your religious beliefs or practices are the cause of persecution or threats, including instances of religious intolerance, discrimination, or violence.
- Nationality: If you are facing persecution due to your nationality or membership in a particular nation, which can manifest as targeted violence, discrimination, or other forms of harm.
- Political Opinion: If you are being persecuted or face harm because of your political beliefs, affiliations, or activities, including cases where individuals are targeted for expressing dissent or challenging the ruling regime.
- Membership in a Particular Social Group: If you belong to a specific social group that is being targeted for persecution, such as based on gender, sexual orientation, or other defining characteristics.
