Eligibility Determination

Eligibility Determination in the context of refugee and asylum processing refers to the assessment of an individual's request for protection based on their risk of persecution in their home country. This process involves reviewing their background, experiences, and the reasons for their fear of returning home. Authorities consider factors like credible testimony and evidence to decide if they qualify for refugee or asylum status. If approved, the individual is granted the opportunity to stay in a new country for safety and legal protection. This process ensures that those in genuine need of refuge receive it.
