Understanding Asylum: Key Information for Refugees
Asylum is a defense against removal from the United States. It allows a qualified refugee to remain in the U.S., because the refugee suffered past persecution in his or her home country or because the refugee has a well founded fear of future persecution in the home country. Asylum is universal, and a refugee cannot be removed to any country while in valid asylee status.
