Today, June 3, 2025, I had my asylum interview at the Boston Asylum Office. My visa is valid until July 8, 2025. The interview started at 11:30 AM and ended at 3:30 PM. The questions were very tough and sometimes unbelievable, but I answered all of them honestly and completely. My case is genuine, and I had already submitted and uploaded all original supporting documents to USCIS one week before the interview.
Now, I have a few questions:
1. The asylum officer kept my passport—**is this normal?**
2. Does a **long interview** (like mine, 4 hours) usually indicate **approval or denial**?
3. I prepared and submitted my asylum case **by myself**. Is that okay, or will it affect the decision?

1. it’s not a requirement, but it happens.
2. long interview means nothing, but it’s very common, so they got as much info as possible and that is a good thing.
3.this will not affect the decision. i’ve done it too and a lot of people. if you did a great job , you will succeed. lawyers make A LOT OF MISTAKES, and sometimes fu up a lot.
