What is the name of your state? CA
I have applied for asylum before my visa run out and I still have two months to go. Just had an interview last Friday which did not go well at all. The asylum officer would not listen to any arguments, shut me up and let me go as soon as he verified all the info in the application form. As far as I understood from the ucis webpage if you file an asylum application in the affirmative, the decision is totally up to an asylum officer, i.e. it does not go to the immigration judge. Does it mean that I do not have ANY kind of appeal now?? Not at all?? So this a-hole can just throw me away?? There should be some review....Please advise
