Have You Heard That Venezuelan Asylum Cases Are No Longer Being Approved?

In recent weeks, many people have repeated this comment following the political changes in Venezuela. However, this is part of several myths currently circulating within the community. The reality is that the analysis of an asylum case is not based solely on recent political events, but rather on whether you have suffered persecution or have a credible fear of persecution based on political opinion, social group, religion, nationality, or race. Despite the capture of Nicolás Maduro, laws, mechanisms of repression, and groups that continue to generate fear and persecution against those who oppose the regime still exist in Venezuela. For this reason, many Venezuelan asylum cases remain valid and are evaluated individually by immigration officers and judges. Each case is different and depends on how you are able to explain and document your story to immigration authorities.
