What’s the difference between aslyum status and refugee status? The terms are closely related.
Both terms, often used interchangeably, refer to foreign nationals who fear political, race, nationality, religious, or social persecution in their home country. A refugee applies for protection while outside the United States, before departing for the United States. An applicant for asylum is a foreign national already physically in the United States, even surreptitiously, or at its borders, when he or she seeks protection.
