I spent years as an Asylum Officer at USCIS, which means I was literally the person sitting across the table making decisions on asylum cases. I actually really, really loved that job and the agency in general.
I've spent most of my career since leaving USCIS trying to help people understand that USCIS functions very differently from immigration court (EOIR) or enforcement (ICE), and that distinction matters enormously for people going through the system.

Ask me anything about the asylum process, how USCIS works from the inside, or immigration law generally. I'll answer what I can so long as it's not classified or legal advice.
