Hi dear smart people,
My bro had asylum interview few days ago and at the end, the officer gave him a letter saying the decision will be mailed instead of the normal practice of coming to pick up in two weeks. What can that mean? more chance of approval or intent to deny? I did a research and it says those who are in valid non immigrant status or still in valid legal status will have their asylum decisions mailed. But as you know most asylum applicants are told to come to the office in about 2 weeks to come in person to pick up. my bro has his tourist visa for 3 more months.
In the mail out notice, it doesn't say when his asylum decision will be mailed it just says it will be mailed and change your address within 10 days of your move. So this is really a case of uncertainty cos who knows when or how many weeks or months it will take for them to mail him his decision.
The interview itself went very smoothly and the officer who was a woman aged like 50 even said YOU DID A GOOD JOB AND YOUR ENGLISH IS GOOD to my bro's witness after the witness who was same nationality of my bro spoke to request for grant of asylum and saying he helped my brother in translating my brother's affidavit in to English. my brother had another person who acted as interpreter. How ever the officer did not give any indication as to whether he would get asylum or not.
So what you think about this mail out notice? when will he receive the decision?
Thanks
