Q: New asylum laws, will they pass on new or old cases, or will they cover all cases that are heard in the courts?
Will the new asylum decisions affect all applicants in the past who have traffic violations such as aggravated speed and have been reduced to a petty crime? Is there sufficient reason for refusing asylum? Or take it as a reason against the person
A:
If your case is still pending, and a decision is not final, then any regulation that 'actually goes into effect' will impact you if it is effective before a final decision. That is, unless the regulation is somehow modified to indicate otherwise.
The current regulations are proposed, so they are not interim nor final. This means that the regulations have not been approved in any form.
There are many reasons to deny asylum. A vast majority of asylum claims are denied when handled without an attorney. It is something that those with employment authorization are often unprepared to accept. Yet, some applicants are unable to reasonably value the opinions nor the services provided by an immigration attorney, who has experience representing applicants with asylum claims. Good luck.
The above is general information, not legal advice, and does not create an attorney client relationship.
