You must prove that you meet the definition of a refugee according to 8 U.S.C. § 1101. This means that you have to show that you are the victim of past persecution or fear persecution in the future. This can be difficult to prove. It’s helpful to understand what each requirement means, and how the government defines some of the terminology in the law.
