Does the US share information with Interpol about people who have applied for asylum or immigration benefits?

US immigration authorities conduct routine background checks that access Interpol databases, meaning asylum applicants and visa petitioners may be flagged if a Red Notice exists. USCIS does not automatically share applicant information with Interpol or the requesting country, but a Red Notice can complicate immigration proceedings and trigger additional scrutiny. In asylum cases, evidence that a Red Notice is politically motivated can actually support a well-founded fear of persecution claim. Strategic coordination between immigration counsel and Interpol defence specialists is essential to avoid disclosure missteps while leveraging the notice’s existence appropriately.
