Well, whether or not your asylum application gets processed and approved is at the whim of the government, not the applicant. From what I understand, the process is slow and rigidly bureacratic and can take more than a year to complete even if they don’t make you start over because you missed a ticky-box on some form or other.

I admit I haven’t read the bill and it’s possible it gives some leeway for claims in process . . . but I would bet not.
