ASYLUM AND REFUGEE PROGRAM
ASYLUM
The United States does not grant asylum in its diplomatic premises abroad. Under U.S. law, the United States grants asylum only to aliens who are physically present in the United States.
U.S. REFUGEE PROGRAM
To be eligible for consideration under the U.S. Refugee program, an applicant must meet the definition of a refugee: a person outside the United States who has been persecuted or has a well-founded fear of persecution based on race, religion, nationality, membership in a particular social group or political opinion. In addition, he or she must be able to establish that he or she is not already firmly resettled in a foreign country and must fall within certain refugee processing priorities.
REFUGEE PROCESSING
The USCIS Vienna Field Office currently processes only refugee applications by citizens of Iran who are members of religious minorities. The direct filing of refugee resettlement applications with USCIS Vienna cannot be accepted. Persons interested in being considered for the US Refugee Program should contact the official Overseas Processing Entity (OPE) HIAS by phone 01/505 55 33-0.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
For more information please see the "Asylum" and "Refugees" webpages on the USCIS website.
