How Can an Asylum Applicant Request to Schedule His Asylum Interview Sooner/Expedite the Scheduling of Asylum Interview?
An asylum applicant must file a detailed request with the asylum office that has his asylum application. Whether the case will be expedited or not depends on reasons of the request, detailed statement, and supporting evidence submitted in support of such request. Some of the reasons the case may be expedited are: (1) the interest of immigration services because the case contains sensitive issues; (2) special government interest in the case; (3) danger to spouse or children in the country of feared persecution; (4) medical conditions of the applicant; (5) the asylum applicant is being placed in witness protection programs; (6) the applicant is providing information of national security concern to other agencies within the Federal Government; (7) applicant’s family member can be harmed because of applicant’s actions; (8) family emergency; (9) urgent humanitarian reasons.
