HOW DOES THE US IMMIGRATION JUDGE OR ASYLUM OFFICER DETERMINE IF I AM ELIGIBLE FOR ASYLUM?
The Asylum Officer or Immigration Judge will determine if you are eligible by evaluating whether you meet the definition of a refugee. The determination of whether you meet the definition of a refugee will be based on information you provide on your application and during an interview with an Asylum Officer or at a hearing before an Immigration Judge. The Asylum Officer or Immigration Judge will also consider whether any bars apply.
