After my Boston asylum interview in June, the officer kept my original passport and documents. Is this normal?
Hello everyone, I have a question about my recent interview.
I had my asylum interview at the Boston Asylum Office in June 2025. At the end, the officer kept my original passport and all my original papers.
Is this a common practice? Any information you can

mine was returned at the end !
But you probably won't recover them since if the asylum is approved you will no longer use it for travel as a refugee.
I could already see some around here trying to get the passports back for months but without success.
