Just a few days after the USCIS rule came into effect, which asks the migrant seeking asylum in the United States to bring his interpreter to the interview, it is good to know what will happen if the person without a translator appears.

The Ministry of Citizenship and Immigration points out that if you go to the asylum application interview without an interpreter when you need one, or if the person responsible for that function experiences complications with translating, this can be considered a failure to appear, AS publishes. .

On its website, USCIS reports that “if you do not bring a competent interpreter to your job interview and you do not speak English, we will cancel the interview and move it to a later date.”

“That will be considered a delay caused by you,” it’s noticable.

If you have filed Form I-765, Application for Employment Authorization, and there are unresolved delays in the review of your asylum claim, we will reject your Form I-765, the government agency warns.

Asylum application: what happens in the event of a no-show?

If you do not show up for your interview, you will receive a No Show Warning Letter shortly thereafter from the asylum office where your interview was scheduled, USCIS says.

It is explained in this letter the consequences what to expect from your interview and how to request a rescheduling of the interview before being referred to immigration court for removal proceedings, USCIS reports on its website.

They also confirm that if they receive your rescheduling request within a period of 45 days of your failure to appear for the interview, you will be required to demonstrate a valid reason for failure to appear.

These are the two types of asylum you can apply for in the United States and who you can arrange it with

If you receive the request for rescheduling after 45 days of failure to appear for the interview, you must demonstrate that there are special circumstances that prevented you from appearing.

If 46 days have passed and the asylum office has not received your request to reschedule the interview, and:

1. You do not have legal immigration status, the asylum office will present your case to the immigration judge for review and will send you a notice of referral for failure to appear. For information on petitions filed after a case has been referred to immigration court, see the How to Demonstrate Justified Cause and/or Exceptional Circumstances page.

2. You are in legal immigration status, the asylum office will administratively close your case and will send you a notice of the denial of the asylum application – do not appear.

Please note that USCIS will consider your absence from the asylum interview as a delay caused by the applicant. If the delay is not resolved by the day you submit your work permit, your work permit application will be rejected.
