I speak from America, the immigration officers understand refugees have to do whatever they have to in order to be able to flee their country. Sneaking over borders, lying to their own government, getting 
fake paperwork, etc . As long as, once the asylum seeker is safely within the United States, they apply for asylum (within a year but there are waivers you can get it it takes longer) under their real name and 
are totally transparent about what their trauma history and what they needed to do to escape, it is understood as necessary for the fleeing refugee‚Äôs safety. to oversimplify the matter, almost anything a refugee
 may need to do to get here (that doesn‚Äôt involve physically hurting anyone else) is understood, but then once in the US refugees need to tell the absolute truth about who they are and how they got here, or it
 will definitely be a big problem later. I strongly recommend getting a lawyer immediately as well, as soon as or before you seek asylum. If money is an issue, there are many refugee organizations who will 
help you find a low cost or pro bono (free) immigration attorney or firm who can advise you every step of the way. Best of luck if you‚Äôre asking for yourself :)
