Huh????
In the early 1990's the asylum system was a mess because people filed applications just to get work authorization. They overwhelmed the system completely. The ultimate results were (1) much stricter rules were enacted in 1995 and 1995 by Congress and the Administration. New applicants are suffering from these rules (2) legitimate applicansts waited for years for their first interviews. This seriously delayed their path to citizenship; and (3) many strong applicants were interviewed years after country conditions had changed. They now face denial of the application (and deportation orders). It is so sad to see (as I did last summer) an applicant who had experienced the unthinkable in Bosnia in 1992 receive a notice of denial simply because it took the USCIS/INS 14 years to schedule her an interview.
