The credible fear screening interview is conducted fairly quickly after the foreign national informs the immigration officer at the port of entry that he/she is fleeing persecution or seeking asylum. The individual is transferred to a detention center where a specially trained asylum officer conducts an interview. If the individual passes the interview, then he/she will be allowed to present a claim for asylum to an immigration judge through the regular asylum hearing process. Those who do not pass may request a review before an immigration judge; the review is expedited and limited.
