- Borderlands Resource Initiative | Asylum Process
Asylum Explained Some people cannot obtain a visa because they are political dissidents or their government has failed. They have to seek asylum by arriving at a port of entry or crossing into the United States by land or sea. These asylum seekers will be processed through government custody & possibly detention. They will have to plead their asylum case in immigration court. Some people are able to obtain a temporary visa to come to the United States as a student, worker, or tourist. Once they are safely here, they apply for asylum. These asylum seekers do not have to plead their case in court, and will not be detained. They can file their asylum case directly with the United States Citizenship & Immigration Services and receive a decision within a few weeks.

We can do better for asylum seekers. You can help. Join the fight to defend asylum & save lives. Impact the lives of thousands of asylum seekers and their children by supporting emergency humanitarian needs and advocacy for humane policy. Every day, asylum seekers arrive on the U.S./Mexico border in search of protection. These people from all over the world have sacrificed everything to flee their countries escaping violence, torture, and persecution. Their journeys are arduous, and although the process to claim asylum requires them to cross into the United States first, American border policy is constantly changing and many asylum seekers exhaust their resources while attempting to identify the legal process. These are complex problems, but they can be solved. You can be part of the solution. Borderlands Resource Initiative is a 501(c)3 non-profit charitable organization funded and empowered by our generous supporters and frontline partners. Never miss an update.
