What an Asylum Referral Means for Your Case in Orlando<\/h2>\n

An asylum referral moves your case from an asylum office into immigration court. If an asylum officer does not grant asylum and you appear inadmissible or deportable, the officer must generally refer your application to an immigration judge for removal proceedings, or dismiss it where charging documents may not be issued; an exception applies to certain applicants described in paragraph (c)(4)(ii) who have not already been subject to proceedings under 8 CFR 235.3<\/a> (8 CFR 1208.14<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Removal proceedings start with a Notice to Appear. It must be given in person or, if that isn’t practical, by mail to you or your lawyer. It must list the charges and the statutory provisions alleged to have been violated (8 U.S.C. \u00a7 1229<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Read every date, time, and address on it. If your address is missing or wrong, you must give the court a written address and phone number within five days (8 CFR 1003.15<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Two stages are easy to confuse. USCIS decides your asylum application in an interview with an asylum officer. An immigration judge hears the same claim in court. The judge can take testimony, examine witnesses, and issue subpoenas for witnesses and evidence (8 U.S.C. \u00a7 1229a<\/a>).<\/p>\n
