Guidance on Refugee Reinterviews and Readjudications

Guidance on Refugee Reinterviews and Readjudications

Refugee reinterviews and readjudications of already-resettled refugees in the U.S. are an unprecedented event. Initially reported primarily focused on refugees resettled in Minnesota, they may be occurring more broadly nationwide. This roundtable will bring together practitioners from multiple jurisdictions to share on‑the‑ground observations and discuss what to expect during such reinterviews and readjudications, and how attorneys can best prepare themselves and their clients.

Facilitators will draw on practitioner experiences to examine emerging patterns, procedural variations, and trends, while identifying gaps in available information. Attendees will gain practical guidance on advising and preparing refugee clients, preserving due process concerns, and adapting advocacy strategies in an uncertain and shifting national landscape, informed by comparative insights across jurisdictions.

This roundtable is presented by AILA's Asylum and Refugee Committee.
