Asylum Claims
Asylum claims are legal requests made by individuals in need of protection because they fear persecution in their home country due to factors like race, religion, nationality, political opinion, or membership in a particular social group. To obtain asylum, the person must demonstrate that they have a credible fear of harm if they return home. This process typically involves applying to a government agency or immigration court, providing evidence, and attending interviews or hearings. If granted, asylum allows individuals to stay in the host country, often leading to the ability to work and eventually apply for permanent residency.
