The New York Times featured this video on the psychological aspects of going through the asylum process in the United States, which I found worth sharing:
Njoya Hilary Tikum has been waiting for the approval of his request for two years. He left his country because of persecution and his student activism in the English-speaking part of Cameroon. His family and he himself had been imprisoned and tortured at various occasions. In the two years, he couldn't obtain a work permit and had difficulty to clothe and feed himself. Still, his vision of the American Dream is unbroken.
