The Backlog Continues: Long Wait Times for Asylum Interviews
Affirmative asylum is an important part of the US immigration system, in which people fleeing persecution in their home country can seek protection in the United States. Asylum is an ancient concept, in which persecuted peoples sought sanctuary in religious places. The number of granted asylum cases is limited and the number of applicants is high. The asylum offices are swamped with the number of cases that they are adjudicating. That is apparent through the release of the most recent backlogs. Here are the current wait times.
The Asylum Division held a meeting for stakeholders today. The blog will share information from the meeting once the minutes are released.
Asylum can also be obtained from an Immigration Judge in immigration court.
