10:08Now PlayingGot an asylum referral notice? Before your next hearing, you need to watch this. Asylum lawyer and former government asylum officer Brian Manning explains exactly what an asylum referral notice means — and the one mistake that gets people deported at their very first immigration court appearance.
A referral is NOT an asylum denial. Your case is still alive — but the rules just changed completely.
Here's what Brian covers in this video:
Why the asylum referral notice moves your case from USCIS to an immigration judge
The critical difference between the affirmative asylum process and defensive asylum in immigration court
Why immigration court is adversarial — and what an ICE attorney will do to your case
What a motion to pretermit is and why it can end your case at the master calendar hearing
Why going to your first asylum immigration court hearing without an attorney is one of the most dangerous mistakes you can make
The window of time you have RIGHT NOW to build a strong defense — and why every week you wait shrinks it
⚠️ Warning: Immigration court is not like your USCIS interview. There is a government attorney whose job is to argue against you, challenge your evidence, and seek your deportation. The master calendar hearing is NOT 'no big deal.' A motion to pretermit filed at that hearing — without an attorney present — can result in a deportation hearing order that same day.
If you just received a referral notice, the time to act is now.
