English term or phrase: refugee and asylee
As per a site

• Asylum: Individuals already physically present in the nation may apply for asylum, provided they meet the definition of a refugee and are not barred by law from applying for or being granted asylum.
• Refugee: A refugee is a person who is unable or unwilling to return to his or her native country due to a well-founded fear of persecution or because the person's life or freedom would be threatened. To apply for refugee status, the applicant must be physically located outside the nation.

शरणार्थी और शरण-प्राप्त
Explanation:
This is a tricky one, and none of the dictionaries I have list asylee.

For refugee, there is a well-accepted term शरणार्थी.

A refugee is a person who is seeking asylum and to whom asylum has not yet been granted. Whereas an asylee is a refugee to whom asylum has been granted. Keeping this meaning in mind, I would coin the phrase शरण-प्राप्त for asylee. As this is a new term, to make it more explicit, you can add व्यक्ति to it -

asylee - शरण-प्राप्त व्यक्ति

Notes to answerer
Asker: धन्‍यवाद संजीव भाई, लेकिन बाला जी के अनुवाद में शब्‍द विग्रह था जिससे मुझे इन दोनों शब्‍दों में अंतर को समझने में मदद मिली और मैंने उसे अपने अनुसार ढाल कर अनुवाद किया, हालांकि आपका प्रयास भी सराहनीय रहा। कभी कभी ग्‍लॉसरी से जुड़े अनुवाद कार्यों को करते हुए दिमाग इतना लल्‍लू हो जाता है कि अपने विद्वान मित्रों से सलाह लेना ही श्रेयस्‍कर लगता है। :-)

Reference: Definitions of Refugee and Asylee

Reference information:
1. A refugee seeks for a safe haven because his homeland has been rendered unlivable either by acts of God or man-made disasters. An asylee is looking for a pit-stop because of personal persecution from individuals or groups in his own country.
2. A refugee asks entrance into America while he is still outside the borders while an asylee has already entered U.S. territory before asking for help from the government.
