Asylum Seekers Facing Unexpected Dismissals Due to Missed Credible Fear Interviews. We discuss how some asylum seekers in the US, who filed years ago, paid taxes, and built lives here, have received unexpected letters dismissing their applications. The reason is that many never had the required credible fear interview when they first arrived between 2019 and 2022, due to the pandemic and record high border crossings. The Trump Administration is now reviewing old cases, and if the screening wasn’t done, the application is closed, meaning people must start the process over, sometimes after waiting six years. This can have life-changing consequences for those who were following the rules. #AsylumSeekers #ImmigrationPolicy #LegalLimbo #BorderCrossings #CredibleFearInterview
