Is a finding of credible fear of persecution the same as a grant of asylum?
No, the credible fear interview is only the first step in determining whether someone has a claim to asylum. Its purpose is to determine who should have a chance to present an asylum claim before an immigration judge. A credible fear of persecution only means there is a significant possibility, taking into account the credibility of the statements made by the alien in support of his or her claim and other facts known to the officer, that the alien could establish eligibility for asylum.
