is Asylum?
Asylum helps those who have been persecuted in their home country, or fear future persecution due to their political opinion, nationality, race or ethnicity, religion, or membership in a particular social group. This can include gender-based violence or sexual orientation.

Yes, but it is much more difficult. Generally, you must file Form I-589 within 365 days of your last arrival in the U.S. To file after this, you must prove “Changed Circumstances” (e.g., a new war in your home country or a change in your personal identity, like a religious conversion) or “Extraordinary Circumstances” (e.g., a serious illness or ineffective assistance of counsel).
It depends on your nationality. In early 2026, USCIS implemented a pause on decisions for asylum seekers from countries designated as “high-risk.”
Similar to U and T visas, there is a push in 2026 to provide “Bona Fide” (good faith) work authorization to asylum seekers whose cases are clearly documented and pass initial security screenings.
