Immigration Justice Campaign

If your client was forced to wait in Mexico before entering the U.S. to seek asylum (a practice known as "metering"), he or she may not be subject to the third country transit asylum bar. This practice guide explains who is and is not subject to the transit bar as a result of having been "metered" at the border. A very important read for anyone whose client may have been metered.
