USCIS Provides Updated Procedures for Interviewing UACs in Removal Proceedings

USCIS’s Asylum Office provides updated guidance and procedures on conducting interviews concerning asylum applications filed by potential unaccompanied alien children (UAC) under the initial jurisdiction provision of the TVPRA. These procedures modify the current guidance found in training materials on implementing the TVPRA. These procedures are effective immediately and will be incorporated into the Affirmative Asylum Procedures Manual. The training materials will also be revised.
