    This is a simplified animation video for asylum seekers.
    Many people flee their home countries in search of freedom. It is no surprise that the United States of America has become one of the top choices for refugees seeking relief from their oppressive governments. However, before you can become an asylee in the U.S., you need to formally seek asylum status based on one of the five factors: race, religion, nationality, political opinion, or membership in a particular social group.
    The key to your case will be to prove and establish a well-founded fear of persecution in your home country. You will have to convince the asylum office or the immigration court that you have suffered persecution in your home country before, and the conditions have not changed, or that it is likely that you will be persecuted or will suffer if you return to your home country, or both.
    Establishing well-founded fear is based on identifying objective and subjective elements:
    Subjective factor. In the context of asylum, fear is defined as awareness of danger. Thus, to satisfy the subjective element, you must show that your fear is genuine. An asylum seeker should only be motivated by a genuine fear of persecution while proving his or her case. Country’s poor economic conditions, civil unrest, or presence of a natural disaster are not relevant considerations in an asylum application.
    Objective factor. You must prove the objective side of your case. For your fear to be acknowledged as well-founded, you must prove that there is a reasonable possibility that you would be persecuted in your home country. In other words, your fear must be objectively reasonable.
    You must be very clear while establishing well-founded fear. Your testimony may be enough to make your case, if it is a compelling, genuine, and consistent story.
    Because your asylum application is an important step in your life that could ultimately determine whether or not you can legally stay in the United States, it is crucial to have a good immigration attorney to prepare your application and represent you in the asylum office or immigration court. An experienced attorney will help you prepare your asylum application, collect documents to strengthen your case, such as photographs, newspaper articles, medical records, affidavits of witnesses. A good attorney will also thoroughly prepare you, your family members, witnesses, and your interpreter for the successful asylum interview or immigration hearing.

    One question:
    As a refugee you have no possibility to work (at least as you do not apply for the working permit, which can take 150 days minimum).
    But you need to live somewhere, to be able to tell the asylum office your post adress, so they can send you the documents.
    So, how do you do that?!
    I do not think that most asylum seekers have enough money to rent out an appartement for one year without working, right...

      I guess you have to look for part-time jobs. There are also some charity organisations that can provide you a place to stay for your help.

    How a persecuted one can be present in US while he is considered to be eligible to any US visa to come to US?
    As we know the persecuted people often are those who live un an exile, as outcastes, no work, no career, no financials and other goods - as what means being persecuted? It's mean you're not allowed to live a normal life, to have a job, to have rights and freedoms.
    So how the hell such guys can be present in US while they all not eligible to get any US visa? As US visas require very strict solid jpb/career/financial documents as minimum for even the smallest visas.
    Ridiculous. Such stupid unlogic rules also creates fraud businesses in the embassies - I know at least 20 people who got US visa with fake documents, while those who brought genuine documents were denied in getting visas. This is happening right now too. I personally don't appreciate this and such illegal ways, actually I'll choose to stay and die than migrate doing things illegally as I have respect to the laws and borders of the free countries and also i understand one thing that the potential hosting country could be my new home and how I will live on if i breake tge laws of my new home? Not my way. But seems like modern world especially "progressive" world doesn't have a favor for people like me, but for those who continuously breake laws cross borders illegally or apply fraud documents - seems pike such people have more rights and freedoms than law obedience ones...

      Well yes but the process becomes harder because normally you first go to the border or a port of entry in order to seek asylum.

      This is what seems to be the problem at least in South Texas. Groups of up to 100 to 300 are being apprehended for crossing illegally. Once caught by BP agents they claim asylum. Are they doing this because they think they are going to be let into the country and just be given a hearing date?

      Yeah they can claim it but chances are If they have to resort to sneaking into the country they probably won't meet the requirements to gain asylum and will be deported after a long period of waiting

      @@dg_96_7 As it says in the video, you kind of have to apply IN America. So, they have to come into the country first. That is the catch 22. Yes, you have some that come in and illegally start working and stuff with no plans to ever actually apply. I can see your position on those folks. However, what many do is simply cross the border and then wait at the border for immigration to show up... so they can apply for asylum. And what Trump is doing is putting those people in the same group as the former group. Trump is also now trying to set it up so that all of those people are immediately forced out of the country without them being allowed to apply. And of course once they are out of the country we are not required to accept any of their applications vs if they apply while in the country. Bottom line, we are creating a situation where those seeking asylum will have no choice but to sneak in and hide from immigration... similar to the former group. THUS creating the very problem Trump claims he is solving. And we all know that all this will do is give the right something to point to as though it is evidence they were right all along...despite them being the reason it is happening in the first place.
