Do I need to attend a hearing after applying for asylum?
Yes, if you have applied for asylum in South Carolina, you will need to attend a hearing before a judge in order to have your petition for asylum heard. This hearing is also known as a “removal hearing,” and it is where you will have to explain why you believe that you meet the criteria for asylum. You can bring a lawyer and other witnesses to your hearing that can support your claim. During the hearing, the judge will ask you questions about your case and will consider any evidence you present. The judge will then decide whether or not to grant you asylum. If you receive a positive decision, you will become a lawful permanent resident. However, if your petition is denied, you may appeal the decision of the judge, but you must do so within 30 days of the initial decision. You will then be assigned a date for a new hearing and will have the opportunity to present your case again.
