Denials of Refuge or Protection

Denials of Refuge or Protection occur when an individual seeking asylum or protection from persecution in a new country has their request rejected by immigration authorities. This can happen for various reasons, such as a lack of credible evidence supporting their claims, not meeting legal definitions of persecution, or failing to file within required timeframes. When denied, individuals may have the option to appeal the decision, but facing a denial can lead to the risk of deportation and returning to potentially dangerous situations in their home countries. Legal assistance can be vital in navigating these complex processes.
