🚨 New DHS Asylum Rule Update: USCIS will no longer interview every affirmative asylum applicant.⚖️ What changed?
If an application appears weak, barred, or outside priority areas, USCIS can now bypass the interview and send the case straight to immigration court.
🔍 Who is affected? This doesn't just apply to people with criminal records—it can affect any case deemed non-meritorious based on the written application alone. Interviews will still happen for positive approvals or legally mandated cases.
