American residency through asylum
MIE Consulting Agency will provide no service for asylum or even any consultation for asylum seekers. This section of this article is only for acknowledgement of the dangers of asylum.
Refugee is a way of immigration, which the person is seeking to obtain the nationality of the country of destination by providing evidence that he is not safe in his country in terms of physical, financial and psychological safety. In general, under the 1951 Geneva Convention or its 1967 Protocol, refugees are individuals who do not have the right to live in their country for reasons of race, attitudes, opinions, religion or belief, and fear of persecution and insecurity, Imprisonment or even death, forced to leave their country. As a result, the refugee country is obliged to provide at least the living conditions for the asylum seeker, which imposes huge costs on the refugee country. For this reason, most countries refuse to accept asylum seekers or have difficulty admitting them. If the asylum seeker bring a false case and it proves that he lies he will be rejected and the asylum seeker will not be able to immigrate to other countries even from different methods for years. everyone needs to be aware of the harms of doing so in this way and focus on choosing the right immigration practices on other legal immigration routes so that human dignity is not harmed, and the way for people in need of emergency asylum becomes smoother.
The person has the opportunity to apply for asylum for one year after joining the United States. At this time, the person receives a paper called “Travel passport”, due to the delivery of documents and the absence of a passport, so that it can carry out its initial work in the United States.
Investigation and Inspection of refugee documents by representatives of the Immigration Office.
Once the refugee’s documents have been accepted, the asylum seeker must reside in the camps designated by the government itself or, if he has a financially entitled person, be able to reside in houses in a city that is still selected by the government itself. At this time, the refugee will be given a “Blue Passport”.
If the documents are approved by the immigration authorities and their asylum is accepted, they will be given a “white passport” refugee.
The refugee has no right to work for three years and does not have the right to leave the country for 5 years.
Asylum and negative point:
One problem for refugees is finding a job. Other problems that can be mentioned are mental, social and identity problems. One of the most striking problems is with American refugee settlements in the first days and the problems with camps accommodation. Camp is called a place usually built in the form of a town away from the city in which the houses are shared jointly. To be for example, in a small house of 50 meters, you may see the life of three families together. The same issues cause many problems for individuals.
