The
United States allocates over 100,000
visas to refugees who can prove a
well-founded fear of persecution based
on political or religious beliefs,
or membership in particular social
groupings. Applicants already
in the United States may also apply
for political asylum, if they can
show a well-founded fear of persecution
should they return home. Recent
changes require applications to be
filed within one year of arrival
unless there have been changed country
conditions or "extraordinary
circumstances."
