USCIS will start issuing asylum decisions again

In November 2025, the issuance of asylum decisions by USCIS was effectively stopped. Although interviews continued to be conducted, no one received a decision - neither positive nor negative.

According to CBS, this “stop” is now being lifted for most countries.

Restrictions remain in place for 39 countries on the travel ban list. You can view the list of countries here.

In effect, this means a partial rollback of one of the administration’s toughest measures in the asylum sphere.

How reliable this information is, and on what scale USCIS will return to issuing decisions, we will find out very soon. First of all, we are waiting for reports from those who passed their interview in the last six months.
