There is a good possibility that the asylum office will not issue a notice to appear (NTA) in the event of denial for you to appear in an immigration court since it appears from your question that you were legally here at the time of your interview. You would be able to file a motion to reopen or reconsider with the asylum office if you believe that the legal basis of denial was incorrect. If you were already illegal at the time of interview and an asylum officer was not convinced of your asylum claim, he or she would likely issue the NTA for you to make your case with the immigration court.Due to the limitations of the Lawyers.com Forums, Alan Lee, Esq.'s (the "Firm") participation in responding to questions posted herein does not constitute legal advice, nor legal representation of the person or entity posting a question.
