asylees
Sanctuary seekers approved
Asylees are people who have been granted asylum—legal protection allowing them to remain in a country because they face persecution in their homeland.
The term distinguishes those whose asylum claims have been approved from asylum seekers, whose cases are still pending: The program provides job training for refugees and asylees.
