Credible Fear Interview

A credible fear interview is an initial screening to determine whether an asylum seeker has a significant fear of returning home. The asylum officer asks questions about past harm, threats, and dangers the person fears. Although the standard is lower than a full asylum case, it requires clear and consistent testimony. Many individuals feel nervous before the interview, but preparation helps reduce anxiety. We work with you to prepare your account in an organized and truthful manner.

Officers look for consistency between your story and known country conditions. We help you understand which details matter most and how to explain your experiences clearly. Preparation ensures you stay focused even under pressure. We review possible questions and practice how to respond effectively. Our aim is to help you feel confident going into the interview.

A positive credible fear finding allows you to continue with a full asylum application in immigration court. You will have the opportunity to present evidence, witnesses, and legal arguments. If credible fear is not found, you may request review by an immigration judge. These reviews move quickly, so preparation is crucial. We guide you through what to expect at every stage.

Passing the credible fear interview is only the first step, but it is a critical one. With proper guidance, asylum seekers can present strong and convincing accounts. We support you throughout this emotional and complex process. Every person deserves safety, protection, and the chance to be heard. Your story matters, and we are here to help you tell it clearly.
