About: USCIS

On Sunday, June 20, we observe World Refugee Day. Every year, this day draws attention to the plight of refugees across the globe.

“We applaud the attorney general’s decisions today vacating two prior decisions that limited asylum eligibility for individuals fleeing violence perpetrated by domestic partners or on account of familial relationships in their home countries.
