The Asylum Preparation Project

The Boston Center for Refugee Health and Human Rights uses this set of documents to prepare both the asylum applicant and the expert witness for an initial asylum officer interview and the EOIR merits hearing. The slides include pictures of the EOIR corridor, the courtroom and instructions identifying where the judge sits, where the applicant will sit, how to conduct oneself in the hearing, etc.

Please select from one of the following:

Asylum Hearing / Checklist
Merits Hearing / Checklist
Expert Witness / Checklist

The Center has made these resources available free of charge, but a token donation (about $25.00 or any amount for that matter would be appreciated) sent directly to the Center: Boston Center for Refugee Health and Human Rights, Dowling 7, One Boston Medical Center Place, Boston, MA 02118 might be appreciated.
