Application for Political Asylum in the USA
Political asylum in the US is the legal process through which people who are outside their country of origin, in case of political, religious or cultural persecution with credible fear; can acquire legal status so that they can obtain permanent residence and, therefore, citizenship.
Political asylum is based on credible fear that prevents you from returning to your country.
