Asylum.

How can I get asylum in the United States?

• An asylum seeker must prove that he or she has a well-founded fear of persecution based on one or more of five grounds:

1.   Race.
2.   Religion.
3.   Nationality.
4.   Membership in a particular social group (Most LGBTQ individuals who apply for asylum qualify under this category)
5.   Political opinion.
