Welcome, friends. Today, I want to take you to a place that many find familiar, but few want to remember: the search for a safe refuge. Imagine for a moment that you are forced to leave behind the home that has long been your sanctuary. Violence, persecution… they are shadows that haunt your everyday life, and the only way out seems to be that door that says “asylum.” But what happens when you are denied?

Common Reasons for Asylum Denial: A dream can turn into a bitter reality.

Failure to meet the application deadline: Once you arrive in the U.S., you have one year to apply for asylum. Overlooking this detail can mean closed doors, despite the circumstances you’ve lived through.
Lack of sufficient evidence: When seeking asylum, you must demonstrate a well-founded fear of danger and persecution. Without documents or testimonies supporting your story, you could watch your hope for a better future fade away.
Credibility questioned: A simple forgotten detail in your account can cause everything to crumble. The experience of other applicants teaches us that the truth must be told with certainty, as any inconsistency can raise doubt.
Persecution by a neutral state: If the authorities in your country are not responsible for your situation, your chances of asylum may decrease. No one should be sent back to a place where their life is in danger, but unfortunately, the law can be cold.
Applicant’s criminal history: Any criminal record for serious offenses can put you in a difficult position. The past can be a heavy burden to carry.
Change in the home country’s situation: If conditions in your country improve, you may not be able to demonstrate a well-founded fear of returning. This can be depressing for those who have lived through horror and vulnerability.
