How does USCIS determine the applicant’s eligibility for asylum?

✔ You must meet the definition of a refugee, and the immigration information you have provided in the application (Form I-589) should match it.

 

✔ You are then called for an interview with the asylum officer.

 

✔ People who have committed a crime or received a conviction might not be eligible for asylum but this can vary depending on the crime.
