Asylum

If you have suffered persecution or fear of persecution in your home country due to a protected social group, you may apply for asylum by filing form I-589 with USCIS. You must apply for asylum within one-year of your last entry into the United States, or if you qualify for an exception to the one-year filing deadline.
