What happens if I am found to have a “credible fear”?

If you are found to have a “credible fear” in Ohio related to immigration law, you may be eligible for asylum. If you are granted asylum, you will receive protection from being deported and will be allowed to remain in the United States. This means you can work, study, and eventually become a permanent resident and possibly a citizen. The process of gaining asylum can be complicated and it is important to understand the rules and requirements. In order to be granted asylum, you must be able to prove that you have a “credible fear” of returning to your home country. This includes being able to prove that you have faced persecution, threats of harm, or have serious problems related to your race, religion, nationality, political opinion, or membership in a particular social group. You must also be able to prove that the persecution or threat of harm in your home country is based on the factors mentioned. Once you have been found to have a “credible fear” of returning to your home country, the most important step is to apply for asylum with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). You can apply for asylum either with an Asylum Officer or before an Immigration Judge. After you apply for asylum, you will have to attend a hearing, where you will need to provide evidence to prove your credible fear and convince the judge or officer that you have a valid reason for seeking asylum.

Si a ti se te encuentra un temor creíble, primero tendrías que hacer una entrevista con los funcionarios del Servicio de Ciudadanía e Inmigración de Estados Unidos para determinar si calificas para pedir asilo. Si la entrevista concluye que tienes un temor creíble, tienes derecho a presentar una solicitud de asilo. Aparte de la entrevista, los funcionarios de USCIS determinarán si cumples con los requisitos para solicitar asilo basándose en la información proporcionada y en tu situación particular. Si tu solicitud es aprobada, serás considerado un solicitante de asilo y podrás permanecer en los Estados Unidos hasta que tu caso sea resuelto. Si tu solicitud es denegada, tienes derecho a apelar la decisión de USCIS ante un tribunal de inmigración. Si así lo haces, un juez de inmigración evaluará de nuevo tu caso y tomará una decisión sobre si debes ser otorgado asilo o no. Si ganas el juicio, recibirás permiso para permanecer en los Estados Unidos hasta que tu asilo sea aprobado.
