Asylum Denied Because Paperwork Played Hide and Seek
In a bureaucratic comedy of errors worthy of a Kafka reboot, NPR reveals that dozens of immigrants across the U.S. had their asylum cases dismissed simply because they 'have not yet received a screening interview.' Apparently, the governmentâs way of fast-tracking justice is to fast-track dismissal before even meeting people. If only ghosting was this officially sanctioned elsewhere. Itâs like showing up to a party and getting kicked out for not arriving on time to a meetup you werenât invited to yet.

Congrats! Your asylum case got dismissed⌠because the government forgot to send you an invite. Calling it 'screening interview' sounds less rude than court ghosting, but we're calling it âimmigrationâs ultimate vanishing act.'
Trying to get your asylum interview feels like waiting for a season 10 of your favorite show: years overdue, and then canceled without explanation. Welcome to America's bureaucratic sitcom, starring paperwork and suspense!
The U.S. government is apparently running a new game called 'Catch Me If You Can' with asylum cases, where the end prize is legal dismissal for the ones who never got invited to play. Spoiler alert: nobody wins.
