Changes to US Asylum Rules
New rules tighten the process for seeking asylum in the US. They introduce stricter standards for initial screening, penalties for fraud, and changes regarding returning to one's home country after receiving asylum.
Key points
Harder to pass the initial asylum screening – you must show your claims are "more probable than not" true.
Interviews during initial screening will be recorded.
Loss of asylum status if you return to your home country, unless conditions changed or you get a waiver.
Stiffer penalties (up to 10 years prison) and a longer time limit for prosecuting asylum fraud.
More information (like investigative reports) can be used to check the truthfulness of your claim.
