For those apprehended at entry, arriving immigrants have one daunting opportunity to express a fear of return to their home country before facing deportation, often without any representation or preparation. In this webinar, we will examine the process of credible fear for asylum applicants classed as arriving aliens and distinguish this from the reasonable fear process. We will unpack this confusing process and address the legal standard and practical implications.
