This virtual roundtable will feature a conversation among legal representatives who have represented Afghan asylum seekers. These experts will address three common challenges that sometimes arise during the affirmative asylum process: They will explain what a sworn statement is and what it could mean for a client’s case. They will discuss reasons why an applicant may be scheduled for a second interview and share practical tips on how to prepare them for it. They will also offer best practices for writing an effective response to a Notice of Intent to Deny (NOID). You will have the opportunity to actively participate by asking questions of the panel of experts.
By the end of this webinar, you will be able to:
– Explain what a sworn statement during an affirmative asylum interview is
– Identify reasons why a client might be called in for a second interview
– Write an effective response to a Notice of Intent to Deny (NOID)
