asylum process
Protection application steps
The asylum process is the formal procedure by which someone seeks refugee status in a country, claiming protection from persecution in their home country.
It typically involves application, interviews, documentation of claims, and legal proceedings that can stretch over months or years: Her asylum process has been delayed three times.
The phrase often appears in discussions of immigration policy and backlogs.
