Why this matters
Affirmative asylum applicants have historically received a non-adversarial interview with a USCIS asylum officer before any referral to immigration court; removing that interview step means applicants may face adversarial removal proceedings without an initial administrative screening. The practical effect is faster referrals but reduced opportunity to obtain a grant at the USCIS stage, potentially increasing pressure on the immigration court backlog and on applicants’ access to counsel.
