Asylum Interviews: The asylum interviews consist of two stages - screening interview and substantive interview. Both of these interviews are important.  The substantive Asylum interview helps the applicant or the seeker in their asylum claim.

The substantive Asylum interview can take place many months after the Asylum-screening interview but it is important that the information you provide should be true and same in both the interviews.

Asylum interview and application tips:

1. There are three essential elements that an applicant needs to submit that is an application form, all supporting documents, and statements. The statement should explain your asylum claim and help the officer understand why and how you qualify for asylum.

2. Asylum officer does a background check and has to access the current conditions of the country. Therefore provide only those documents that can add value to your application. Provide articles that have mentioned your name and support your claim.

3. Submit all your information and documentation prior to your asylum interview for the officer to review all the documents before the interview.

4. You should accurately and thoroughly convey your personal story and the reasons why you should be granted asylum. If you’re suffering from any psychological issues notify the office before the interview so they can make special accommodations.

5. Think before you speak during the interview. One false statement can get you in trouble therefore, be truthful.  If you do not understand the question you can always ask them to repeat.
