In support of our pro bono teams representing survivors through our Afghan Asylum Project, our team delivered training to our AAP pro bonos to give them an overview of the steps after filing the affirmative asylum application, what to expect during the interview, and some tips on how to prepare the client for their asylum interview. This recording provides general information and tips and has some information specific to Afghan asylum applications filed under Operation Allies Welcome. See recording Here

Anastasia
I came to the U.S. in the winter of 2006. Life back home in Mexico was tough for me and my family. I dreamt of going to college and graduating but with my family’s economic status, that dream was too costly and impossible.
At least I was able to graduate high school and that is something I am proud of since I was also working at the time to help my family. I was always looking for an opportunity to have a better life as a young woman.June 23, 2023 -

“I hope my story is helpful to someone else…and can inspire many women to be stronger. We need to help young women identify toxic relationships, so that there are fewer Camilas that go through such difficult things, let alone have our children suffer.”
