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. |
