Why Does My Asylum Decision Delay Help Me?
Using a shooting in Washington DC as an excuse, the administration has halted ALL asylum decisions. They claim that asylum seekers – some of whom have been in the United States for almost a decade without any arrests – have not been “screened” enough. Read this blog countdown for the number one reason why this asylum decision pause WILL help you.
Top Three Reasons for Delayed Asylum Decision
Asylum decisions are slow to interview and slow to decision because there are so many of them. Form I-589 asylum applications can be filed online faster than officers and immigration judges can even read them. A second reason for the delay in decisions is understaffing: immigration judges of the Executive Office of Immigration Review are being fired in 2025; US Citizenship & Immigration Services asylum officers are resigning constantly. Last, when you hear “extensive vetting” or “screening” for asylum applicants, that means the government has decided to deep dive security checks. These can add months or even years to how long a decision will take AFTER the interview.
Top Two Reasons Why Case is Not Delayed
The first myth – that asylum decision delays indicate that the case will be approved – needs to end here. Blandon Law once received a denial for a Liberian family over two years after the interview. Luckily, Democrat President Joe Biden had given Liberians legal status and work permits through a deferred action program. The second myth is the inverse: that an asylum decision is delayed because the case will be denied. This also is not true. Blandon Law once received an approval for a Colombian applicant over one year after the interview.
Top Reason Why Delayed Asylum Decision Helps You
