7:33Now PlayingUSCIS can now send your asylum case straight to immigration court without ever giving you an interview.
That means deportation proceedings before you ever get the chance to explain your case to an asylum officer.
This rule took effect immediately, and it applies to cases already pending as well as new filings.
By the government's own estimate, it could hit more than 400,000 pending cases.
In this video, you’ll learn what the rule does, who's most at risk, and what you can do right now to protect your case.
- What the new USCIS rule actually does, and why it applies to cases already pending
- Who is most at risk, starting with the four categories of cases the rule targets
- Why the government's own numbers show close to half of late-filed cases were granted asylum after an interview
- How the two exceptions to the one-year filing deadline still work: changed circumstances and extraordinary circumstances
- What electronic scanning and case flagging mean for your file, and why there is no individualized warning
- What has to be visible in your asylum file right now, including a declaration, evidence, country conditions information, and a legal brief
