Hi to all,
I have a question for you all. A friend of mine (X), who is in the process of getting her Green Card thru Political asylum went to court yesterday as a witness for one of her relatives (Y). Her relative is trying to become a political refugee as well. My friend (X) told me that she was asked so many questions about Y’s story. The judge suggested that her relative (Y) comes back for another hearing with better arguments, but Y refused saying she wanted to get it over with!!!!! Obviously, the judge denied her case.
My friend is afraid that her case will be compromised due to the fact that she was a witness on a case that was denied. She is really concerned and need some reassurance.
Please, could you give me your insight or ideas? Is there anything to worry about?
PS: She and her relative use the same immigration lawyer. She told me that she was added as a witness without knowing (!) and she did not want to object so that she is not seen as a selfish person by her family (!). I do understand her situation since I am from the same part of the World.
Thank you.
Kaolack.
