Immigrants’ current situation

People from all over the world that are trying to request asylum or refuge in the US have several disadvantages right now.

The novel Coronavirus created many changes in the country’s immigration policies.

Immigrants must take care of their health and also fight to solve their cases and finally be able to enter and reside in the US.

It is clear that immigrants are going through difficult situations right now, however, there are still many opportunities and ways to present a successful case and gain legal residence in the country.

Immigrants’ concerns

Families who are asking the US government for help to enter the country by asylum or refuge must be prepared for several possible scenarios.

1. They must constantly take care of themselves to prevent the spread of COVID-19 among them.
2. Many immigrants are under “Remain in Mexico” policy, which could be a hotbed for the virus.
3. If they are in immigration detention centers, they will not be released until they get a response to their cases from a US Court (although this policy may change soon).
4. Asylum request service is currently suspended in every USCIS office in the country.
5. There have been several reports by immigrant rights advocates stating that there are no lawyers available at this time.
6. The US Citizenship and Immigration Service (USCIS) has temporarily suspended most of its services. Therefore, immigrants must wait longer to resolve their cases and get a response.
7. If they can’t find a certified attorney, their cases will be most likely dismissed almost immediately.
8. Almost all the borders are closed around the world due to the Coronavirus, therefore, immigrants cannot return to their homeland so easily right now.

Immigration attorneys

Most of the lawyers working for government entities have suspended their services due to the COVID-19 as well.

Since USCIS has closed its offices, the amount of work should decrease for attorneys as well.

However, the number of immigrants waiting for the help of a lawyer has not been reduced by the Coronavirus.

Therefore, immigrants must resort to other options in order to present a well-founded case to the US immigration authorities.

The positive side of the situation is that USCIS is still receiving and processing applications online.

In fact, they will most likely continue to do the video call hearings. That is why immigrants must be ready at any time to present their case properly completed.
