Once you submit your asylum application to the immigration court, making changes later becomes much more difficult.

Why Changes Raise Attention

When you request changes, it automatically alerts both the immigration judge and the government attorney (DHS prosecutor). Any modification to your statements or evidence will be examined closely. You must be prepared to clearly explain why the original information was inaccurate or incomplete.

Common Issues

Sometimes, applicants discover that notaries or unqualified preparers filed inaccurate or even false information on their behalf. If this has happened in your case, it’s critical to:

• Identify what was incorrect in the original filing.

• Explain why the error occurred.

• Provide accurate and consistent updates to correct the record.

Transparency and honesty are essential — unclear or conflicting statements can harm your credibility before the court.

Best Practice

Before submitting your asylum application, make sure every piece of information is accurate, consistent, and truthful. Once the application is filed, any change — no matter how small — will draw additional scrutiny.
