ASYLUM UNDER Humanitarian GROUND
Even if you are no longer eligible for asylum in the United States on any applicable grounds because changes in your country disallow any claim that you have reasonable fear of future persecution, it may still be granted for humanitarian reasons. However, there are only two circumstances in which this is possible. The first is if you can prove that you endured severe persecution in your country the past; and the second is if you can prove that you have a valid fear of being subjected to other serious harm if you are forced to go back.
If you are seeking U.S. asylum for humanitarian reasons on this basis, you must prove that you have irrefutable reasons for refusing to go or being incapable of going back to your country. In other words, you must prove that your previous experience(s) in your country meet the legal definition of persecution; and that they were so heinous that they caused ongoing mental and/or physical suffering.
Historically, humanitarian asylum has been granted to applicants who endured female genital mutilation and suffered longterm effects; and to a former prisoner who was held for more than a year and prevented from learning what happened to a missing relative.
The criteria generally used to make determinations in such cases include the magnitude and duration of the persecution you endured and the extent of your suffering. However, you should be aware that each case is assessed on its own merits so it is important to consult with an experienced asylum attorney before seeking humanitarian asylum.
Other Serious HarmUnder U.S. federal law, you may also qualify for humanitarian asylum if you can successfully demonstrate that there’s a good chance you will be subjected to “other serious harm” upon return to your country. While you do not need to prove that it would be based on any other ground for asylum, you must prove that the trauma or injury you would likely suffer meets the legal definition of persecution.
In past cases, humanitarian asylum has been granted to applicants who proved that the severe lack of health care and essential medications in their countries would likely result in “other serious harm” if they were forced to return to their countries. However, these cases are also determined based on their individual merits.
