What are the “grounds for asylum”?
In Ohio, “grounds for asylum” refer to the legal criteria that must be met in order for an individual to be granted asylum. This form of relief can be sought by individuals who are unable to remain in their home country due to a credible fear of persecution due to their race, religion, nationality, political opinion, or particular social group. The fear must be well-founded and based on particular facts. In addition, the applicant must demonstrate that they are committed to the United States, present no danger to national security, and that their removal is not in the best interest of the United States. Furthermore, an individual must show that they will be tortured or persecuted in their home country if returned. To qualify for asylum, an individual must demonstrate a “nexus” or direct link connecting the alleged persecution to one of the five protected grounds. An applicant may also establish eligibility for asylum through a showing of past persecution or a well-founded fear of future persecution if they return. If asylum is granted, an individual will be allowed to remain in the United States, with the ability to apply for a green card. Additionally, they may be eligible to work, receive public benefits, and become a US citizen. It is important to note that an individual must apply for asylum within one year of entering the United States in order to be eligible.

Estas razones se basan en el temor a ser perseguido en su país de origen basado en la raza, religión, nacionalidad, grupo social o opiniones políticas. La Ley de Refugiados de 1980 es la ley federal que permite a las personas solicitar asilo en Estados Unidos. Esta ley dice específicamente que una persona puede pedir asilo si está demostrando temor fundado de persecución basada en: raza, religión, nacionalidad, pertenencia a algún grupo social o opiniones políticas. Esta ley también exige que la persona que solicita el asilo presente pruebas de que el temor es real y fundado. También es importante destacar que una persona no puede pedir asilo si ha sido condenada de un delito y recibido una sentencia penal en su país de origen.
