My bro is applying for asylum without a lawyer. he came legally with visa and currently has 6 months visa.
I guess he first tries without a lawyer for the initial asylum interview and if rejected by the asylum officer and refers his case to a Judge, then he will be looking for a lawyer's help as he maybe grilled by the government lawyer if he goes without a lawyer on his side.
he has good stories of past and future persecution and has supporting letters from some local organizations.
U have any ideas or info or suggestions for my brother?
Please share your expereince if you applied recently.
thank you
