CASE: Asylum
CLIENT: Saudi Arabian
LOCATION: Minneapolis MN
Our client, a Saudi Arabian asylum seeker from Minneapolis, retained us on January 12, 2015 to help him with his asylum case. He wanted to seek asylum relief with the US Citizenship and Immigration Service.
While he was in Saudi Arabia, he was persecuted by his religious denomination and later being an atheist. He is scared to go back home to Saudi Arabia, fearing that he will be clearly persecuted again.
We helped him to prepare for his asylum application, going over several drafts until his claim was as detailed as possible. Names, addresses, dates, and all possible issues relevant to his asylum claim were addressed. We also asked him to provide supporting documents corroborating his claims. Our firm also did some research on articles pertaining to his particular claim, and the type of persecution that you would suffer in Saudi Arabia if you are not Sunni Muslim.
The asylum application was filed in February 11, 2015. In October 2017, his interview was scheduled. Prior to his interview, our office prepared him thoroughly for his case over the conference calls to make sure he was able to address questions the asylum officer would ask. Attorney Sung Hee (Glen) Yu from our office also accompanied our client at his interview at the USCIS Field Office in Minneapolis, MN on October 31, 2017.
Eventually, on May 17, 2019, the USCIS Chicago Asylum Office approved our client’s asylum case.
