What are the limitations of asylum?

In New Hampshire, asylum is the legal protection granted to individuals who have suffered persecution or fear future persecution in their home countries due to their race, religion, nationality, political opinion, or membership in a particular social group. While asylum can provide individuals with much-needed safety and security, there are a few limitations that individuals should be aware of. One limitation of asylum is geographic. To be eligible for asylum in New Hampshire, an individual must be physically present in the United States, having entered the country either legally or without inspection. Individuals who are in the United States on a valid visa are also eligible to apply for asylum, but must do so before their visa expires. In addition, asylum can only be granted to individuals who are facing persecution in their home country due to one of the protected categories mentioned above. Those who are facing persecution due to personal or family relationships, or due to gender-based violence, may be eligible for a form of relief known as withholding of removal. Time is also a limitation of asylum. An asylum application must be filed within one year of an individual’s arrival in the United States. There are some exceptions to this rule, such as if the conditions in the person’s home country have changed and they fear persecution if they return. Finally, asylum does not provide a pathway to permanent residence in the United States. If an individual is granted asylum, they may remain in the country for a period of time as an asylee with lawful status. However, it does not grant them the right to become a permanent resident of the United States. In conclusion, while asylum is a great option for individuals who are facing persecution in their home countries, there are some important limitations that individuals should be aware of before they apply for it.

Las limitaciones de los refugios se aplican tanto a quiénes pueden solicitarlo como a la manera en que el gobierno evalúa la solicitud. En primer lugar, a quién se les permite solicitar asilo en Estados Unidos depende de la forma en que el solicitante entró al país. Por ejemplo, un extranjero que llegó por vía legal puede solicitar asilo, mientras que un extranjero sin documentos no lo puede hacer. En segundo lugar, hay limitaciones en cuanto a hasta qué punto el gobierno estadounidense considera una solicitud de asilo. La ley sobre refugios de Estados Unidos exige que un solicitante de asilo demuestre que teme un "perjuicio grave o irreparable" si regresa a su país de origen. Si el solicitante no puede presentar esta prueba, entonces no se le otorgará el asilo. Además, los solicitantes deben demostrar que esta amenaza se basa en la pertenencia a un grupo particular, como una etnia, religión, discapacidad o orientación sexual. En el estado de New Hampshire, la ley también exige que los solicitantes presenten su solicitud de asilo dentro de un límite de tiempo razonable después de su entrada al país. Esto significa que si el solicitante llegó hace más de un año, es probable que no se le otorgue el asilo. Por último, el estado respeta las normas nacionales para otorgar refugio. Esto significa que si el gobierno federal decide no otorgar el asilo, el estado de New Hampshire también se apegará a esa decisión.
