¿Qué Significa Asilo?
El asilo en los Estados Unidos es una forma de protección que permite a las personas permanecer en el país en lugar de ser devueltas a un lugar donde corren el riesgo de persecución o daño grave.
Buscando Protección de Asilo en los Estados Unidos
Las leyes de inmigración ofrecen medidas de protección y derechos para las personas que escapan de peligros como:
- Subyugación
- Intimidación
- Daño físico
- Angustia mental
- Violación de las libertades humanas fundamentales en sus países de origen.
Requisitos de elegibilidad para asilo en los Estados Unidos
Usted puede calificar para asilo en las siguientes circunstancias:
- If you have experienced (or are under threat of) violence by your government;
- If you are being persecuted by your government on the basis of race, gender, political affiliation, or membership in a particular social group;
- If you are being deprived of basic human rights or civil liberties in your country.
Asylum can be sought at any U.S. border or entry point, or within the United States, regardless of how you entered, including illegal entry.
However, you may not be eligible for asylum if you have the freedom to:
- Travel within your own country;
- Leave your country;
- Relocate to a different part of your country to escape the danger.
Ineligibility may also apply if you’re seeking asylee or refugee status from outside the U.S. (not at a port of entry) or if you’ve been in the U.S. for over a year without seeking asylum.
Upon consultation and a preliminary assessment by an asylum officer, your case may be referred to an immigration judge for review. Even if the officer doubts the likelihood of your asylum claim succeeding, you have the right to request a hearing before a judge.
In the courtroom, you must demonstrate to the immigration judge a credible fear for your safety in your country of origin.

Cómo Presentar una
Apply for Asylum
The duration of the asylum application process can vary widely, typically ranging from half a year to several years, based on individual circumstances. If you’ve recently arrived in the U.S. and wish to apply, you should follow these steps within your first year:
- File Form I-589, the Application for Asylum and for Withholding of Removal, promptly upon arrival.
- Await two correspondences from USCIS:
- Confirmation of your application’s receipt.
- Instructions to go to an application support center (ASC) for fingerprinting arrangements.
- Go to the ASC for your fingerprinting and undergo a background/security check.
- Look out for an invitation to an interview with an asylum officer.
- Attend your interview, accompanied by an attorney if you choose. If you’re not fluent in English, you should bring a translator.
- An asylum officer will evaluate your eligibility for asylum.
- The officer’s decision is reviewed by a supervisory asylum officer.
- Finally, you will be informed of the decision, which you may be asked to collect from the asylum office after two weeks, or it will be sent to you by mail.
