Get an asylum for a Syrian family on the border

You are not automatically granted asylum. You and your family may find yourself detained for an extended period of time. You will first need to explain your situation to a CBP officer at the border. If he/she believes you have a fear of returning to your home country, you will be scheduled for a credible fear interview. An asylum officer will conduct the credible fear interview. If you are found to have a credible fear, you will be referred to an immigration judge who will conduct a hearing in your request. This is a complicated process. The fact that you are from Syria in of itself will not be sufficient. You need to establish a well-founded fear of persecution on account of your race, religion, nationality, political opinion or membership in a particular social group.
