Sometimes, the United States government might try to argue that your country is safe to return to. In this case, you might still be eligible to apply for asylum in the United States. Accordingly, this is because of humanitarian asylum. This grants asylum status to those that can demonstrate compelling reasons for being unwilling or unable to return to the country arising out of the severity of the past persecution. It also grants status if there is a reasonable possibility that the individual may suffer other serious harm upon removal to that country.
