Maryland
I filed for Asylum but then withdraw the application before getting a response because I had to leave the country to secure another type of visa for my new employment. I received a correspondence from the USCIS about my case being administrative closed prior to my departure.
Back to the USA with a new visa, I refiled with a slight modification on my application (adding my exit and return to the country and the reasons why). To my surprise I did not receive a new interview day, rather a NOID.
My questions are as follows:
- Legally, wasn't I entitled to a new interview since a file for a new application AND I had left and re-entered the country?
- Was the officer who followed my initial case supposed to reopen it (despite the new additions - exit and re-entry) and pass a judgment without a new interview?
- Can I appeal this case for procedural error?
- What are my options at this point
Thank you very much. I am very confused as what to do next and your help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
