YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Most asylum seekers don’t understand what the asylum officer actually cares about, so they usually focus on the wrong things in their written materials and at the interview. ⚠️ The officer does not care how good of a person you are or how much you would contribute to the United States. ❌🇺🇸 They care about whether you meet the legal requirements for asylum. ⚖️ About 90% of the interview is focused on three core issues officers are trained to assess. 🧠 First, past persecution. Were you harmed in the past in a way that was serious enough to legally qualify as persecution? 🩹 Second, future persecution. Do you have a well-founded fear of being persecuted if you return to your country? ⏳ Third, nexus. Was the harm because of one of the five protected grounds under U.S. asylum law? 🔗 These are the issues you should be centering in your declaration and your testimony. 🎯 If you want help with your asylum case, send the word “consult” to me in a direct message. ✉️
