What is a “reasonable fear” interview?

A “reasonable fear” interview is a process that immigrants can go through in South Carolina in order to try to stop their deportation. The process is overseen by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). During a “reasonable fear” interview, the immigrant will explain why they fear returning to their home country and will provide evidence to support their claim. This could be anything from political persecution or torture, to violence or potential harm to the individual. The “reasonable fear” interview is crucial in determining whether an immigrant will be able to remain in the U.S. or not. ICE will evaluate the immigrant’s statements and the evidence they have provided. If deemed valid, ICE will grant the immigrant the right to stay in the U.S., and the immigrant will be allowed to proceed to a full hearing. On the other hand, if ICE finds the immigrant’s statements to be insufficient or untruthful, their request to stay will be denied and the immigrant may then be deported. Ultimately, the “reasonable fear” interview is a difficult process as immigrants must prove their case within a short time frame. It is important for immigrants to gather as much evidence as possible and be prepared with a thorough argument in order to strengthen their case and be successful in an interview.

Una entrevista de “temor razonable” es una entrevista especial que se realiza mediante la Dirección de Servicios de Inmigración y Control de Aduanas (ICE) para determinar si una persona tiene derecho a refugio o protección contra la deportación. Esta entrevista se suele realizar en caso de que el solicitante tenga temor de que su regreso al país de origen signifique una amenaza para su seguridad. La entrevista se enfoca particularmente en los temores de la persona sobre las condiciones que existen en su país de origen. Durante la entrevista, el solicitante deberá explicar su temor, explicar la situación a la que se enfrentará si regresa a su país e informar la documentación que justifica su caso. El oficial de inmigración evaluará la situación antes de decidir si el solicitante califica como un refugiado, con derecho a evitar la deportación. En el estado de Carolina del Sur, la aplicación de este proceso sigue los parámetros establecidos en la ley federal de inmigración.
