Navigating Asylum Process Safely

Summary

If you cross the US border illegally and seek asylum, you will likely be detained and have a credible fear interview. If credible fear is established, you may be released on parole or bond while your asylum case proceeds. Presenting yourself at a port of entry can reduce detention chances. If far from a port, contact the nearest immigration officials to express your intent to seek asylum. Seek legal representation to navigate the process effectively. For assistance, contact U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) at 1-866-DHS-2-ICE or visit their website.

I cross us boarder illegally to seek asylum and i am arrested. What will be the next steps?
Since you've been arrested after crossing the US border to seek asylum, here are the potential next steps:
- You will likely be placed in immigration detention.
- You will have a credible fear interview to determine if you qualify for asylum.
- If credible fear is established, you may be placed in removal proceedings where you can present your asylum case.
Are you currently detained or have you been released?
Iam detained. Will i release and then i will have interview or i will have interview then will release?
In most cases, you will have your credible fear interview while you are still detained. If you establish credible fear, you may be released on parole or bond while your asylum case proceeds.
Are you currently in the United States, and if so, can you provide your location? This will help to provide more specific information.
Ok. How long i will be detained?
The length of your detention can vary based on several factors:
- The speed of scheduling your credible fear interview.
- The outcome of the interview.
- Processing times for parole or bond.
Average detention can range from a few weeks to several months.
Can you share your current location for more specific information?
So if i had not been arrested is there any way to dont detained?
If you had not been arrested, you might have been able to avoid detention by seeking asylum at a port of entry and presenting yourself to immigration officials. This process might allow you to stay in the U.S. while your asylum case is processed, without being detained.
