Are my family members eligible to apply for asylum?

The eligibility requirements for applying for asylum are generally the same throughout the United States, including New Hampshire. Generally to be eligible for asylum, you must be a “refugee”, meaning you are unable or unwilling to go back to your home country due to fear of persecution because of your race, religion, nationality, political opinion, or social group. In addition, you must demonstrate that you applied for asylum within one year of arriving in the United States. Your family members may be eligible for asylum in New Hampshire if they meet those criteria. For example, if your family members are fleeing war or conflict in their home country and have a well-founded fear of persecution because of their race, religion, nationality, political opinion, or social group, then they may be eligible for asylum. If your family members have not been living in the United States for at least one year, they must demonstrate a reasonable fear of persecution if they return to their home country in order to apply for asylum. It is important to note that the asylum process can be complicated and time consuming, and the criteria are often difficult to meet. If you or your family members are considering applying for asylum, it is advised to consult with a knowledgeable immigration lawyer or experienced asylum advocate in order to ensure your application is properly filed and all of the necessary documents are submitted. Additionally, many New Hampshire based organizations offer assistance to those seeking asylum.
