asylum procedure
The legal and administrative process in which government authorities check whether a person meets the requirements for recognition as a refugee and receives asylum in a country.
Das Asylverfahren kann sich über mehrere Monate oder sogar Jahre hinziehen.
The asylum procedure can drag on for several months or even years.
The word consists of 'Asyl' (asylum) and 'Verfahren' (procedure). So it describes very directly the official process or procedure that decides on an asylum application.
Ein negatives Ergebnis im Asylverfahren bedeutet oft die Abschiebung.
A negative result in the asylum procedure often means deportation.
'Asylverfahren' (asylum procedure) is an official term from the field of law and administration. It is mainly used in formal, official, or journalistic contexts.
Der Anwalt hat Akteneinsicht in das laufende Asylverfahren beantragt.
The lawyer requested access to the files in the ongoing asylum procedure.
The component 'Asyl-' (asylum) appears in many related words. If you know this word, you will also more easily understand 'Asylantrag' (asylum application), 'Asylbewerber' (asylum applicant), or 'Asylrecht' (asylum law).
Jeder Asylbewerber muss ein Asylverfahren durchlaufen.
Every asylum applicant has to go through an asylum procedure.
An asylum procedure can be 'beantragen' (applied for) or 'einleiten' (initiated). A person can 'durchlaufen' (go through) an asylum procedure. The authorities can 'beschleunigen' (speed it up) or 'ablehnen' (reject it).
Er hofft, dass sein Asylverfahren bald positiv abgeschlossen wird.
He hopes that his asylum procedure will soon be concluded with a positive outcome.
asylum application
Both words refer to the matter of a person applying for protection. The „Asylantrag“ is the specific application the person submits to the authorities. The „Asylverfahren“, by contrast, covers the subsequent examination and the entire administrative process. Use the first when submitting the application and the second while it is being processed.
Sein Asylverfahren dauert wegen weiterer Prüfungen noch an.
His asylum procedure is still ongoing because of further checks.
Sie hat ihren Asylantrag gestern bei der zuständigen Behörde eingereicht.
She submitted her asylum application to the relevant authority yesterday.
