Asylum is another way an individual may legally reside in the United States. Providing there is sufficient evidence to prove that an individual is in imminent danger or will be subjected to persecution should they return to their native country, that individual may qualify to seek asylum in the U.S. Only a set number of individuals are granted asylum in the U.S. each year, so act now to ensure that you have the highest possible chance of finding freedom from danger or persecution in your home country.
