A total of 93 North Korean escapees have been granted refugee status by the U.S. since 2006. Nine were granted the status in 2006, 22 in 2007 and 37 in 2008.
People who receive recognition as refugees can work in the United States and can apply for a green card one year after they are granted refugee status.
