YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

When it comes to your asylum interview, the decision to use interpretation or conduct it in English is one you should not take lightly. If you have any doubt at all about your ability to understand every question perfectly, use an interpreter — the stakes are simply too high to risk a miscommunication. 🎙️ Using interpretation is not a negative mark against you. Asylum officers expect it, respect it, and it will not be held against you in any way. What matters is that your story comes through clearly and accurately. ⚖️ But if you do use an interpreter, it must be a trained professional with specific experience at the asylum office — not a bilingual friend or family member. Asylum interview vocabulary is highly specialized, and an untrained interpreter can do serious damage to your case without either of you realizing it. 💼 For help with your asylum case, send the word “CONSULT” to me in a direct message.
