asylum for stateless Palestinian

[SusieQQQ 11,586]

i know that my friend need to apply in the US , we just need to know if its worth trying or his case is a hopeless case ????

is there a way to try

I don't get the mechanics of this. Your friend will need to get to the US and to do that he will need a visa. How on earth is he going to convince the visa official that he has ties and going back under these circumstances? I just can't see him getting a visa and, therefore, getting near the US. (You do know that airlines will refuse to transport him if he does not have a valid visa, right?)

And as posted before, do a google search, the most likely outcome even if he does manage to reach the US is he gets deported back to Jordan.

i don't know what's your problem here , are you taking this personally or what ???? he had a lot of troubles issuing a documents or buying property or starting bussiness , or making residence in other countries ......... sorry for inconvenience MR .PERFECT

Even though this wasn't aimed at me I was going to reply, but then saw this...:

I'm not perfect at all.

The problem is that there's thousands of people all over the world truly being persecuted and worthy of asylum whereas your mate just wants somewhere nice to live.

If he's living safe in a country then he has nothing to claim asylum from.

You clearly don't understand what asylum is.

There are lots of immigration experts on this site (I'm not one of them), I doubt any of them will be able to give you the advice you want to hear.

They'll tell you the truth instead. Asylum is for people fleeing persecution, not just because you fancy living somewhere else.

...which is basically the perfect response.

Your friend needs to enter the green card lottery (assuming he has completed high school and can prove he won't be a public charge, this looks like his best chance to get to the US...)

"Life is hard" does not = "asylum."

Turns out life is hard here, too.

Not the same level of hardness.

Would not have thought it would be very difficult to put a case together, if that German Family can get Asylum I do not see how he could not.

Worst case scenario is he drags the case on for years, decades is doable and waits for Immigration Reform.

In the end, they did loose and will have to go back to Germany.

A German family that was threatened with deportation after losing an appeal for asylum in the U.S. because they wanted to home school their children has been granted permission to stay in the country indefinitely, a family attorney said.

Michael Donnelly of the Home School Legal Defense Association told ABC News his office received a call from the Department of Homeland Security informing him that Uwe and Hannelore Romeike and their seven children will not be deported.

Or Canada.

Canada might be harder.

[SusieQQQ 11,586]

Canada will require a visa and will be scared that he will want to do to them what he wants to do in the US.

I believe he will need a visa from Mexico too, no idea how strict the Mexicans are with handing out visas.

I would be very interested if anyone can find a case of a stateless Palestinian being granted asylum in the US. I didn't look extensively at google, but the first few pages I saw were all cases who had been rejected/deported. Something about a section 1D of something and a convention or something that the US did not sign. Didn't pay a lot of attention to the technicalities.

[Mark88 183]

Maybe he should try the European Union. It seams they let anyone in.

Not the same level of hardness sure but I agree with the other posters, this seems more a case of what we would call economic migration than being a genuine asylum claim. Life is tough in Jordan but life is tough in many countries. If the excuse was "I'm battling here and I am sure the US would be better" - which is pretty much what that post made it sound like - three quarters of the global population could probably apply for asylum.

I think it's a lot easier to get asylum there. And a lot easier to get there illegally from the Middle East than North America is...

I do not see how his case is that different from many others, or most Asylum seekers.

Not everybody is prepared to do what would be needed, or has the resources to make the move. Presumably his friend can fund him.

Mexico is in North America.

How easy it is to get there I do not know.

She ment the European Union, not Mexico.

[Boiler 45,558]

That sounds messy. I am sure there are simpler options.
