Can I apply for asylum if I am from a safe country?
No, you typically cannot apply for asylum if you are from a safe country. According to U.S. Immigration Law, in order to be eligible for asylum, you must be facing persecution in your home country on the basis of race, religion, nationality, gender, or membership in a particular social group or political opinion. In the state of North Dakota, asylum seekers must demonstrate that they have a well founded fear of persecution in their home country due to one of the previously mentioned factors. Asylum seekers must also demonstrate that the government of their home country is either unwilling or unable to protect them. Asylum seekers must also demonstrate that they would face persecution if they were to return to their home country. If you are from a safe country, it is unlikely that you would qualify for asylum as you are not facing persecution in your home country. In this case, it would be difficult to demonstrate that the government of your home country is unable or unwilling to protect you from harm, as the government of a safe country is typically capable of providing adequate protection from harm or persecution. Therefore, if you are from a safe country, you typically would not be eligible for asylum in North Dakota. To be granted asylum, you must meet the specific legal criteria outlined by U.S. Immigration Law.
THELAW.TV ofrece respuestas en español a todas las preguntas sobre la ley de inmigración.No, no se puede solicitar asilo si se es originario de un país seguro. Esto se debe a que el asilo se concede a personas que están sufriendo o corren el riesgo de sufrir persecución por motivos de raza, religión, nacionalidad, pertenencia a un determinado grupo social o por haber defendido determinadas opiniones políticas. Estos motivos no se aplican a los países considerados seguros, ya que sus ciudadanos no corren el riesgo de ser perseguidos. En el estado de Dakota del Norte, la ley de inmigración no distingue entre países seguros y países no seguros. Por lo tanto, una persona proveniente de un país seguro no puede solicitar asilo a este estado. Se recomienda a los solicitantes que revisen con cuidado la legislación de inmigración de Dakota del Norte para conocer todos los requisitos que deben cumplir para solicitar una visa u otro trámite migratorio adecuado. Si los requisitos se cumplen, entonces una persona de un país seguro puede aplicar para otro tipo de visa, como la de turista, de estudiante o de empleo, que le permitan viajar o residir en el estado de Dakota del Norte.
