What happens at the ins interview?
An INS asylum officer screens all asylum applicants in a personal interview. You will be notified of the time and place of the interview. The officer has full discretion whether to approve or deny your application. Since you will be questioned as to why you fear persecution in the your home country, the ability to speak English is necessary (or bring an interpreter).

If you clear the interview, you are awarded asylee status. If you lose and are in the U.S. illegally (e.g., visa expired), you are placed in deportation/removal proceedings. If so, you should request that an immigration judge reconsider your case.
