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

If you are found to have a “credible fear” of persecution in South Carolina, this means that you have a substantial likelihood of being persecuted if you were to return to your home country. Upon receiving this finding, a number of steps can be taken to help protect you from persecution. The first step is to apply for asylum. This is done with the help of a lawyer and paperwork that is filed with the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). Once the USCIS has determined your application to be valid, they will refer your case to an immigration court in South Carolina. At the immigration court, you will be given the chance to provide evidence of why you have a well-founded fear of persecution in your home country. This can include testimony from witnesses, as well as police documents or other documentation that supports your claim. If the court determines that you do have a credible fear of persecution, they will grant you asylum in South Carolina. This means that you will be allowed to stay in the country for a certain period of time, allowing you to live and work here. In some cases, the court may deny your asylum application, leaving you vulnerable to being deported. This is why it is important to have an experienced immigration lawyer on your side, as they can help ensure that you receive the best outcome possible.
