Asylum is a form of international protection given to individuals in the U.S. who are fleeing persecution in their home countries.
This protection allows eligible individuals to stay in the U.S. and avoid being returned to a country where they face danger or threats.

The asylum application process involves several steps. It’s important to follow each step carefully to avoid delays or denial of your application.
Here’s an overview of the typical process:
