ASYLUM Asylum is available to an alien in the U.S. or at a port of entry who is found to be unwilling or unable to return to his country of nationality due to a well-founded fear of persecution on account of one of the protected grounds (race, religion, nationality, political opinion or membership in a social group). The asylum seeker must file an application for asylum within one (1) year of arrival in the U.S. , unless “changed circumstances which materially affect his or her eligibility for asylum” or “changed country conditions” apply. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v...
