If you are presently in the United States and have suffered past harm, or fear that you will suffer future harm upon return to your home country, you may be eligible to apply for asylum, withholding of removal, or relief under the Convention Against Torture. Applicants must demonstrate that the harm they suffered or fear they will suffer rises to the requisite level of “persecution” and must be on account of race, religion, nationality, membership in a particular social group, or (actual or imputed) political opinion. The harm must be inflicted by a governmental actor or by a non-governmental actor that the government is unwilling or unable to control. It is important to keep in mind that asylum applications are extremely time-sensitive because they must be filed within one year of the applicant’s last entry into the U.S. unless “extraordinary circumstances” or “changed circumstances” can be established.
