One of the most common traps in an asylum interview is a question that sounds simple: have you ever lied on a U.S. immigration application? Many applicants say no without thinking — and then the officer pulls out their old visa application. ⚠️ Here’s what most people don’t realize: lying to enter the U.S. does not disqualify you from asylum. But lying about whether you lied, during your asylum interview, can get your case denied. The cover-up is always worse than the original issue. 🚨 Before your interview, review your entire immigration history carefully. If there were misrepresentations in a past application, be prepared to acknowledge them honestly. Admitting it is always the better move. ⚖️ For help with your asylum case, send the word “CONSULT” to me in a direct message.
