I was born in the Gaza Strip, raised to a Muslim family. I've been in the states since 2003 on as a student, and currently in the process of getting an H-1B. However, I no longer believe in Islam or any other religion for that matter.
Obviously returning to the Gaza Strip will cause me a lot of problems with the Radical religious government in place. First for becoming an Atheist, and second because me and my family are affiliated with the secular opposition party. a friend of mine suggested that I consider applying for Asylum in the US as opposed to just taking an H-1B since the window for applying for Asylum is shorter. Any thoughts on how that might go ? what should I do ? and do I have better odds going with the H-1B or the Asylum process ?
Thanks everybody
