Asylum and Deportation
- Asylum may be granted to people who are already in the United States and are unable or unwilling to return their home country because of persecution or a well-founded fear of persecution on account of race, religion, nationality, membership in a particular social group, or political opinion. Asylum relief can also be claimed during deportation proceedings—that is when you have been put in removal proceedings.
- Foreign nationals who are outside of the U.S. fleeing from persecution can apply for refugee status. Asylum status and refugee status are closely related. They differ only in the place where a person asks for the status. Asylum status is asked for in the United States; refugee status is asked for outside of the United States.
Naturalization and Citizenship
- A person may become a U.S. citizen by birth or through naturalization. Foreign nationals who are permanent U.S. residents may become U.S. citizens after they have met certain requirements set out in the Immigration and Nationality Act and regulations.
