He did come to America in 1933, to avoid persecution due to his faith (he was a Jew). He made the decision to relocate to a better life, and the US, was happy to have him.
He was already a world-renowned physicist and Nobel laureate, whose presence brought fame, respect, and admiration to Austria and Germany. He also had some wealth, and a job offer from Princeton University, which he accepted.
He was not among those tragic choice-less people, that by popular norms were considered to be refugees, fleeing behind a pushcart, filled with the meager remnants of their belongings. However, he certainly found it prudent to relocate in order to avoid the persecution brought by the ethnic and political excesses that were taking place in Europe, and especially Germany, at that time.
Had he left Germany after 1951, when the United Nations Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees, Article 1.A.2, adopted the following definition:
[A]ny person who: owing to a well-founded fear of being persecuted for
reasons of race, religion, nationality, membership of a particular social
group, or political opinion, is outside the country of his nationality, and
is unable to or, owing to such fear, is unwilling to avail himself of the
protection of that country.";
Then, by these later standards, he would have been considered a refugee.
